About 4 months ago i installed a 2 core super cool radiator from minispares...works great temprature when up to just below the halfway mark no problem..

Recently past week it has started to go just above the blue line at the bottom of the temp gauge not even quarter of the way...

I dont understand why its so low, i mean is it my thermostat going...

Thanks

Maybe your thermostat is going, try to replace it if it stays open when cold, if not maybe you temperature sensor needs replacing.

Try a new thermostat as Alexandre34 suggests - cheap part to replace

Quite likely its the thermostat - will show cold at this time of the year, especially with all that cooling you have i n the radiator. Just to be sure, does the cabin heater only blow cold - if that is warm and the gauge position cold, then sensor may be the problem. You can get 3 temperatures of thermostat - we fitted the 88C version, as we live in Norway and tropical cooling not required it warmed up to -8 today...)
