something is seriously wrong then. The sensor must be broke cos sitting for an hour with engine running would cause the fan to kick in ie needle nearly hitting 100 on temp | |

Went to southend at the weekend, booted it all the way down there, then sat with the engine running for an hour in traffic on the sea front. engine didnt even reach 90'c it was that cold outside! | |

the more anti-freeze you put in the car the warmer the car will run, it dilutes the cooling properties of water, so ur more likely to overheat aka head gasket goes | |
