Water temperature guage not working properly

Oct 15, 2006 1 Replies

Hi There,



I've got a '93 e36 3251 automatic BMW. The car water temperature gauge needle does not want to raise to its normal working temperature, even after 20kms, until when the car comes to stop-and-go traffic, or while during frequent braking, then the needle goes up.



Is that normal?? Any idea how to rectify these? Where could be the problem areas? Can a DIY fix it?


Any ideas are welcomed. Many Thanks in advance.


Best Regards, Joe.



Sounds like a simple thermostat change will fix it.
