• Stodgy on the motorway 19 Nov 2002 (Forum)
  I was giving my Mk 2 1.6 Golf a bit of a run yesterday. It was running too rich (the waxstat is getting worse, but I should be sorting that out soon) and after about 20 mins on the motorway, it was starting to get very hesitant.

• Renault Megane (1996 - 1998) - 1996 2.0 8v: running hot can't find a solution 13 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  Evening folks, I've got a '96 2.0 8v megane that has recently started running hot. out of 6 bars it always used to run at the 1st bar, rising to the second if stuck in traffic before returning to the first bar once progress is resumed. earlier in the week I noticed it was running at the third bar. after checking the fluid levels which are fine I removed the thermostat and after testing it's stuck closed. now even with the thermostat removed the car is still running hot and the fan doesn't appear to kick in.
