I've recently had my thermostat replaced. My car runs "considerably WARMER" now than it did before. It has not run hot, but the gauge (analog) leans considerably more to the "hot side" than it did before. I know my car and I'm not imagining this.
I'm thinking they didn't use an "official" part for this replacement because it wasn't done at a dealership.
Can you suggest anything?
Thanks

If its not over heating I wouldnt worry to much. Do you know if they bleed the system correctly. That could cause it to run hotter. But honestly if it is not over heating I would worry
