Hello everyone, this is my first visit to your site, very interesting problems and solutions. I have just purchased a 2000 vt s2 model, driving home from the city I noticed the temperature gauge at 1/4 then once on the freeway it actually dropped to zero, remaining at this point for a few kms, I pulled over and popped the bonnet, felt the radiator which was cold, car seemed to run normal - not sure if this is the norm. Should this be a problem, what steps do I take to correct the situation. cheers Kenbo
How many kms. I have done 160000 and I ha to do thermostat radiator and new hoses when my car done a similar thing. It sounds like thermostat. Just keep an eye on ur temp.
Is there actually coolant in the radiator? If yes then is there a thermostat in the thermostat housing? If yes is the water pump in good working order? If yes then it's probably the coolant temp sender.
Lol I think If he didn't have coolant he would be posting a thread about an engine replacement. Or the temp gauge sitting at hot
