    Default Running Cold

    Hey guys, I've got a VP series 2 and when on the highway it runs cold ( between the cold line and first blue line) when stopped or running around at slow speeds it will rise but not too much. When at low temps I've got no heat coming from my heater, but when temp guage comes up there is more heat but not that much, would these problems be connected in any way??? Hopin for some answers before i start to take the thing apart.

    Could be that your thermostat is stuck open or you don't have one at all. And yes, these things would be connected.

    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    +1 for this. Had the same problem in my VN with the same symptoms, altho i had mine stuck open. Being a VP it will be easier for you to change then it was for me

    Nice pair of vn's, my vp is an old $800 crapper, but it got me from Brisbane to Melbourne in one piece. Any styling ideas to do to the VP?? Not sure if I should put money into it or find something else.
