engine running too cold

[peteyhawkins]

Hi, got a clio dynamique 1.2 16v new in 2006, pre reg dec 05. It sometimes does something a little wierd, the water temp is usually 4 out of 8 bars. but sometimes even after its been drivin for ages and warmed up, it drops down to 2 bars.

Faulty Thermostat?

My DCI 100BHP was the same. Tho only dropped on a long run when not in traffic. They will never sit with 3 bars, seem to drop 2 at a time. I think it's normal tho!

Thermostat isnt expensive to replace may be worth a go.
