This question is in reference to my earlier one where I'm noticing my engine is not warming up as it normally should. It is very cold where I live (-10C).
The recommendations I got was to:
1. top of the coolant of the radiator with 50/50 premix
2. check into the thermostat (remove and see if it works)
I don't know where to find the thermostat or how to take it out for testing. Can somebody tell me?
After topping up the coolant, the gauge still sits at 1/4 of the way and the engine still doesn't warm up, even after 10 min of driving. Interestingly, the gauge shot from 1/4 of the way up to 100% hot for a brief moment and I had only been driving for 3 minutes (this is all after I had just added coolant). And the check engine light is showing, although the car drives normally.
Is this simply an issue of the thermostat malfunctioning or am I facing issues with the engine/cooling system?
