    The thermostat opens when the top of engine is warm enough to trigger the wax to melt in the thermostat and allow spring to lift. Then warm water circulates through entire engine and radiator.Thats why your rad and one hose is cold. Your thermostat is jammed shut

    Norman Castle Thanks.

    one hose is hot and the other (thermostat hose) is cold.

    (please view it on my other thread,

    it is what happens when the car is idle, and started for a long time, check my other thread for this finding.

    So what's the actual problem? am I missing something.... Your engine heats up with no fluctuation of temperature. Interior heater is working. You don't appear to have any faults..
