Hi guys, Recently bought a 2000 Corsa 1.4 Sport as a bit of a fixer-upper.
Finally got it running properly today (Had an air leak and a missfire) but after running it on idle for a while with the heaters on, it got nice and warm, however I noticed the coolant temperature gauge had not moved at all. I felt the radiator hoses and the top one was very hot, however the bottom hose was cold. The car had been running for a while and the fan had still not kicked in.
Is this a thermostat problem?
Cheers for any help

was the rad hot at the top and colder near the bottom rad hose? this is normal, your fan switch maybe faulty? if the temp gauge isnt working its sender may be faulty to?
