Four 4 years now, the temperature gauge follows the same pattern:
- for the first few minutes after a coldstart, nothing happens
- then it climbs, slowly but steadily till it reaches 90°C
- there it stays, rock steady.
Yesterday however, I was driving for quite a while already and happened to notice the temperature read 80°C only, and while I was watching, I saw it drop below 60°C, then start to rise again.
It reached 90°C, but dropped slightly and then wavered between 80° and 90°.
Same thing today (except for the sudden drop below 60°C)
Something's wrong, for sure.. but what?
