I tried to provide an answer. It's not 185. Read what he wrote. When the car is moving, it drops to 140. bs From: ira kaufman <[email protected]> To: Brian Shorey <[email protected]> Sent: Tue, February 23, 2010 7:40:33 PM Subject: Re: [alfa] UNDER heating GTV-6--also Hood Cable yumping monkeys,185 is a perfect temp. whats the problem??????? --- On Tue, 2/23/10, Brian Shorey <[email protected]> wrote: From: Brian Shorey <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [alfa] UNDER heating GTV-6--also Hood Cable To: "Alan Lambert" <[email protected]>, [email protected] Date: Tuesday, February 23, 2010, 6:41 PM 1) Any idea how to replace the actual hood latch cable?--My car does have the emergency one, but I doubt it will last forever. Find both ends of what's in there, carefully tape the new one to the old one, and use the old one to snake the new one through. 2) Although I've replaced the thermostat, and the temperature gauge sender, nothing helps--- Although the engine will heat to 185 if I idle it long enough, once I drive and air goes through the radiator, the temperature drops to just below 140. Have you bled the system? In my experience, one possible cause of low readings can be air in the system.
