[QUOTE="Cyclepath, post: 1394364, member: 78971"] I wonder how similar your situation could be to one I used to have on a car about 20 years ago. I checked the coolant levels a few times, but kept finding this car would give no interior heat in the winter, yet the engine was in the high temp zone - in our Canadian winter. Turned out there was some slow leak in the coolant circuit, and it seemed just at the threshold where the mechanical thermostat should have "popped" - but must not have been, I had the thermostat out and tested it in a pail of hot water etc - but it wasn't the root cause. Parked outside, I didn't really observe a pool of leaked coolant, but sure enough, after I replaced rad hoses top and bottom, then re-established levels, the problem never returned. [/QUOTE]
