"Audrey"
"Oik"Hi all, im after some help. i own a 97 S70 T5 120,000 miles.
Tonight it overheated for the first time ever.
Needle went not quite into the red.
Coolant is at max level, clean and no signs of oil.
Oil on dipstick is clean.
No signs of external leaks.
Heater fan blows hot air in car.
Coolant fans works on slow and fast speeds.
Car drives and runs ok apart from temp.
Gurgling noise from thermostat housing after switching engine off.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks.
Mark.

Thanked 887 Times in 593 PostsSuper-easy to rule it out if so. There's a thread on here (or there was...) - have a search - or just whip the thermostat housing off and lift the stat out. The one of mine that failed on an old T5 was quite warped and you could easy see that it was stuck.
