Hi All,
I recently had my AC pump replaced. I got a mechanic to do it because I don't have all the AC gas gear. Since then I've noticed that the engine does not come up to full temperature when I let it idle (warm up) in the morning. After about 5 mins of driving it warms up and I feel the heat on my feet in the car.
Also measured the top hose temp at 30degC after idling for 15mins... And the electric fan did not click-in either.
Does anyone know what could be causing this?
All I can think of is the Cooling System thermostat (I'm old school) was removed but I can't understand why the mechanic would have touched that while doing the AC?.... I've also just put a litre of coolant into the expansion bottle and I'm fairly sure it was up to the line before I had the AC done.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated.. Thanks.
