hey guys
Ive noticed that lately when ive been driving my temp gauge has been dropping from its usual position. it never goes above halfway but ive noticed that when driving the temp gauge will go up to its normal halfway (albeit takes longer to reach halfway than it used to) and then it often drops to quarter, then back up to half again and so on. this never used to happen until i changed my coolant.. now i have a hairline crack in the radiator so it could be that? im not sure, any ideas? i hear that it can be real bad if the temp gauge starts dropping. |

ya the crack would cause it to go up not down...i had the same prob(rad) well mine spiked one day and i replaced it and its been running like a champ but since you have thermostat and crack in rad go ahead and do both otherwise your temp gauge will nvr read right
