Just to add, I did remove my inline stat when climbing mountains in Summer in Scotland and towing the caravan around. I did not like the rather extreme fluctuation in temperatures from 82 to 104 degrees at times.
Fitted a good OEM stat and the temperatures are stable, both winter and summer..

I have used the trick with header tank demounted. But I couldn't get it high enough, so had to undo the little over pressure tube as well.... Well yes,you then have to do it slowly... Got some air out, but not completely. So things are improved, but not quite good. Have to do it again and properly.

My point was that a good OEM stat works well without the need for an inline stat that could potentially cause other issues.Although they do work, especially in winter.

Don, I had the exact same issue you're describing just last week. The inline stat I had fitted had failed, I've now removed it and the car is running fine again all be it a little bit cooler due to not having the inline stat.
My advice to you, before doing anything else is to remove the inline stat, reconnect the hose and take the car back out on a run. It will not overheat this time. Good luck Graham Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
