Just want to make sure I understand correctly...
My car sometimes behaves like this too - it creeps a little beyond the "0" mark during hot days and only during slow city driving, no warning lights, no other indications come on. As soon as I start driving, it returns to the right point sitting on the "8" I believe. Is this a sign of over heating or thermostat malfunction, what are we saying here? Could this behavior above result in damage to my engine or other components?
What does the 160 thermostat do? I presume it enables the fan to cut in earlier to keep the engine cooler?
Please advise. Thanks.
