Temp Problem
Hey Guys,
I just got my car back from the shop after being hit by a deer about a month ago and my temp gauge is reading high. It wasn't doing this before I brought it to the shop. I had my damaged front bumper replaced with a M5Tech Bumper. Could the thermostat have gotten damaged either in the accident, or while doing the bumper replacement? What else could be causing this??
Today's outside temp was 80 degrees at it's hottest point, and my gauge was reading 100 after driving for 10 mins...
Help!!!

haha I just posted in you other thread. Your temp probe may not be installed correctly when they put the bumper back on. Check the connection. It's visible and should be pointed up when you look through the lower mesh of the bumper, just right of center. Good luck
