hi everyone, I have a 1996 volvo 850 2 litre 20 valve. the engine warms up fine when running round town but as soon as the car is out on the open road, the engine runs much cooler (just off cold). the engine also takes a long time to warm up in this cold weather.
The car has been in for checking and the garage says that the thermostat is opening and closing fully but he has not checked the temperatures at which it does this. there is no damage to the thermostat and it is not sticking open or closed.
there is no coolant loss from the engine.
Any ideas.
Roy
