Running cold issue. Tricky one-thoughts needed
My silver '8 has been running a little "cold" recently. I originaly thought "ok, time for a new thermostat, water pump & belt".
I had the above sorted yesterday using all OEM parts and the problem still persists. Mainly during motorway use, and it seems to run even cooler when using the a/c cc.
I have no problems with heat in the car, heaters work just fine, no water leaks, water levels are fine and system was bled properly, taken for a warm up run and then re bled to be safe.
The needle isnt jumping around arratically which makes me think it's not a temp sender fault. Could anyone point me in a few directions of other parts that could be to blame for this odd temp behaviour.
