temp gauge drops under revs?

Post by robbie1985 » Thu Jul 02, 2015 8:53 am

So I changed the coolant last night, all was well until I realised that as I accelerated the temp gauge drops down to 0! Once I'm off the throttle the temp goes back up again but then as soon as I touch the throttle again it drops. Any ideas?

I drained and pulled the rad over the weekend to do the crankshaft oil seal and had to bleed the system again and it appears to be working fine again! I did have a fiddle with lead too. So one of them helped lol :smokin:
