does anyone know if the stat on a '96 AAC 2l petrol is single or twin stage?
i ask because when driving along the engine warms up properly and maintains normal temp. if i have to queue in traffic then the temp rises ever so slightly and the fans cut in and out as they should. however when i get moving again the the temp drops to roughly halfway between the min and norm and remains constant. if i have to stop in traffic again the temp rises as before with the fans coming on and going off as normal. i was wondering if it was a faulty stat, not closing properly on the 1st stage? or just staying fully open?
