    No why? Heaters blow hot inside the car, rad and all hoses are hot to touch and I've done the needle sweep and there ok

    If I let i idle it will creep up towards the middle line but starts to drop back to the first mark when driving.

    Just wondering if it could be the temp sensor as it struggles to start once warm

    dont worry. If the car only gets to 60 that can be as much a good thing as its being efficient.

    Is the fan on all the time? or is it just running cool?
