I have a standard temp genuine Renault thermostat that keeps sticking shut, it only does it when the car is warming up, temp goes just past the third line and will keep on rising until i grab hold of the top hose and give it a good moving around. Then it opens and is fine from then on.
Anything i can do to the thermostat to make it a little less sticky?
Or should i just stop being a tight arse and get a new one
Bin it for a new one, so cheap not worth risking an engine over.
Get your money out
But it goes against the pikey in me......Originally Posted by Goobie

A pikey would run it without
Or drill a load of holes in it!A pikey would run it without
So we all share some pikey traits then
What does drilling a hole in it do Alex?
Well if the stat was stuck if you drilled a load of holes in it it would allow water to flow through it. I don't recommend this though, I was only joking!
That said in the Cup manual it does mentioned about drilling a small hole at the top of the state to allow for better bleeding/cooling
