Leaks & Noises
Hello everybody
My 2001 1.8 lx temperature gauge has started to go right up to the red for no apparent reason.
When sitting in traffic it works ok but when on the open road it will just rise in a matter of seconds stay there for a while and then drop right down to cold and then back up to normal.
When the temp rises the heater goes cold?????
There is also a bubbling sound from the header tank when you stop.
