if your heaters only blow cold and your car temperature is rising badly, check your engine water. Would maybe suggest your head gasket is going? | |

I still can't believe some cars, e.g. the ford KA doesnt even have a temp gauge!!! | |

quote: Most modern cars wont display a change in coolant temp when stationary in traffic but the actual coolant temp will still rise. Think about it there is no rush of air over the rad when stopped to cool the coolant so staying still for any length of time the temp is only going to heat up and the fan will eventually come on to control it. Modern cars have a tolerance on the gauge so say 90 degrees to 100 degrees the dash display remains in the middle as that is normal operating temp. This way it looks nicer so people dont start worrying their cars are overheating in traffic. | |

If stationary for a while, mine goes up to about 98 then the fan kicks in and knocks it down to around 92. | |

Maybe its the way the engines are designed I guess. My last few cars havent budged on the temp stuck in traffic, sub zero temps or otherwise. | |

I had 3 corsa b's and all 3 of them went up to 100 sitting stationary,the fan kicked in and brought it back down to 95 then it did the same process again. Never once bothered me. I've known of 7 or 8 local to me including the 3 I had all doing the same,I wouldn't batter an eye if I seen it happen in the next one I end up in | |

it goes up more after stationary for a few minutes, if stationary for 30 seconds or so idle speed will be cooler than the previous revs hence it not climbing much initially | |
