Not Reaching Operating Temp

Asked by Zoner Dec 21, 2015 at 07:59 PM about the 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser Limited

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Keep getting an engine code that my 2003 PT Cruiser is not reaching operating temperature. Have replaced the thermostat 2x in the last 6 months. Seems fine after new thermostat for a few weeks and then code. Temperature gauge doesn't go beyond first mark even after driving 10 miles or more.

A month or so ago we started hearing water gurgeling behind the driver dashboard. 2006 PT Cruiser. Temp guage would run up to HOT but when we would stop it was not really HOT and even as soon as it got to top of temp heat point it would ding and then immediately go back down. So, we had the thermastat changed and new radiator cap and thought it was fixed, however now it appears to be leaking water as we have to fill the radiator each morning prior to starting and now the oil lamp (looks like a oil can) has started beeping and when I checked the oil it looks foamy. Oh someone please tell me this is nothing major!... 1 answer
