B4 Issues

My b4 heater is strange. 18 is cold, 18.5 is hot. It feels like a 5 degree jump, not .5. Anyone got any ideas?

I've done s search and found the post below which is my car from a previous owner so it's not a new issue but it is damn annoying.

The car had a new water pump, timing belt and tensioner fitted just over a month ago.

The second issue I have it the car can smell a bit, it's almost an oily smell. I've seen a few say rocker gaskets. It's only when it gets driven on the smell comes on and only when I slow back down.
 
Hey Muttly,

That smell sounds like oil leaking onto the rocker cover gasket. next time you smell this, pop the bonnet and check for smoke to confirm this.
