Default Thermostat

Hi guys,

Recently I had some work done to my car by you guys which included a thermostat replacement/upgrade.

But I think there is something wrong with it. Any normal driving except highway driving the temp needle will move 1/4 of the way up and then the engine bay fan will kick in. This happens alot.

I could be driving on the highway and the needle will be sitting at 1/4 then get off the highway and stop at the traffic lights, give it 1min and it will move about 1/5-1/4 up and fan kicks in, cooling it down about an 1/8 and fan goes off but it just moves back up again and fan kicks in again after about another minute.

I was in a Maccas drive through the other day, normal driving before I got to the drive through, and during the time it took to order and get my meal, the fan had turned on/off 4 times. It was in the space of about 5mins. It was 14 degrees outside.

Today was the first day it was warm and the fan was on 50% of the time I was driving. And it was only topped 29degrees.

You guys agree the thermostat could be the issue or something else?

Thanks
