I have a VZ SSZ Gen 3 Crewman, and noticed that the temperature gauge fluctuates between about 1/3 and between 2/3 and the red Hot marker.
usually its about 1/3 or a little over, but if i drive in traffic it will get up to above the 2/3 line, then the fan kicks in and it drops back down again. after a few minutes it will be back up again... and so on.
is it normal for it to get so high before the fan kicks in, and for the temp to fluctuate so much?
every other car i have owned has pretty much stayed at the same place regardless of driving conditions?
i am thinking a themostat or an airlock.
one other thing i noticed, is it takes about 3-4 minutes of driving before the gauge even moves off the bottom
Thanks in advance...
