hi I replaced the thermostat recently. Yesterday I went on my first long journey with my 01 multispace. about 2 hour journey each way.but after about 50 miles or so the temp gage shot up from the halfway point with in 3 or 4 seconds then as I let off the gas to pull over it came back down just as quick.
it then was blowing cold air. I had a look at the level in the rad and left it open for a while hoping to allow any air pockets/bubbles out.so away I went but every now and then the temp shot up real quick and as soon as I let off the gas it came down just as quick. So Im thinking its a sensor. where would I find this sensor ? is this a common problem? easy fix?
I am going to flush the system and heater core this time, I didnt do this when I changed the thermostat. No time and thought I would get away just re filling it. So any ideas?? anyone ever came across this problem?
I thank you for your replys in advance thank you ..
