toon69 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 hi,ive got a x,reg k series with 140,000 on the clock.my car has developed a strange poblem for me so im hoping someone might be able to help.the first ting i notice is the temp gauge drops off and then i can feel a bad vibrating coming from the engine.the fans are working fine and water and oil is ok.this stops when the engine is swithed off and when left for a short while it starts ok and is fine again.any ideas!

FridgeFreezer Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Temp gauge drops to zero or goes off the top? Bit of a strange one that, only things that spring to mind are a sticking thermostat causing an airlock near the gauge sender, or some electrical problem that affects everything (EG dodgy engine earth, alternator on the fritz). Maybe someone else will have a better idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon69 Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 hi again,the gauge drops back down as though the ignition is off, the noise I can hear is like a vibrating/pulsing which I think is from under the bonnet but its that bad I can feel it through the floor pan, its happend twice in the last couple of days.

western Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 it could be a airlock in the cooling system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
