Hi guys.
Hopefully just a quick one... I've noticed that as soon as I put the aircon on, my engine temperature drops very quickly and eventually ends up on the initial position / 60. I'm so concerned that I'm driving my car too hard whilst cold, that I actually turn the aircon off (making the windows steam up!), so that it can get up to temperature, so I don't feel bad for putting the hammer down...
Surely this isn't normal? It normally takes about 10 mins of driving for the needle to even start moving (with the aircon off), so I've been wondering if the stat is on it's way out anyway...could this be the cause?
