Hello,

It sounds like you have a thermostat that is stuck open which will cause the heater and the temperature gauge not to work as well.

Here is a guide to help you see what you are in for when doing the job:

Here is how it will be on your car (below).

Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

Cheers, Ken
