last week,the car was stuck in the traffic under 38C degree at night.
it was a very hot day right here.I noticed the temp gauge started to
climb up gradually more 2 thin lines on the gauge but not oveheated.
well,i switched off the aircon
and rev the engine with hoping the viscous fan will be working faster.
well,the gauge needle dialed back but not in the normal operating temp
position.i took the car to replace the viscous coupling fan from another
car,replaced the good known radiator,new T-stat in,water pump has
3-40000kms on clock but no luck finally.
the engine is running fine,smooth on idle,no significant coolant lost.i need to pour
300-400cc coolant once for 2 months for some loosen coolant hose clamps.
no coolant out of the tailpipe.the car pulls very strong.the temp is just fine
when cruising,hard driving.the temp only climbs up only when it was sitting
on idle for long time or just driving hard,temp climbing up when take it stationary
afterward.
TIA.
