So i pulled the thermostat out thinking it wasn't opening to discover it has totally fallen apart.
So since its fallen apart what are the chances of the bits blocking the water galleries? Im guessing high but please make me feel better
If it is blocked how would i clear the blockage?
What would make the water heat up so quick if its not blocked and no thermostat? Gets quite hot in 5-10min and only started happening last monday. Used to run nice and cool.
Also what way does the water flow in the radiator? from top -> bottom or bottom -> top
thanks
