During normal forward motion and at idle my car runs as expected with the water temp needle bang in the middle(even in the recent hot weather!!). When i have to slow for traffic and am running at a slow crawl, the temp needle sometimes creeps up toward three quarters on the gauge and then returns to normal. I'm sure even with the hot weather it shouldn't move at all.
So far i've tried;
Replacing
-Viscous coupling on fan(old one was a bit weak)
-Thermostat(in case it was running wrong temp range)
-Fluids
Checking
-radiator for damage/blockage
-aux electric fan
-fluid circulation
I've checked for the normal signs of head gasket failure and all seems ok, just running out of ideas now :?
Anyone had a similar problem before or got any other ideas :?: :idea:
