I've got a 1.8 XS and it the temperature gets quite high everytime I'm stood still for over 2 or 3 mins, basically in traffic. Goes up to about 95-100 at times.I've read that its normal for the 6 and rallye but I was wondering if the 1.8 is the same. What temperature should the fan come on? Doesn't ever seem to come on ________________________________________ '01 Astor Grey GTi6'99 Cherry Rallye |

Coolant level seems fine. No signs of any oil in there either so doesn't seem to be anything major.I just thought it could be a dodgy sensor not setting the fan off? ________________________________________ '01 Astor Grey GTi6'99 Cherry Rallye |

It does it in all weather conditions and as soon as the car is stationary for around 2 minutes, it just shoots straight up________________________________________ '01 Astor Grey GTi6'99 Cherry Rallye |

When at ~100 C (depending on the gauge precision) you should hear the fans kick in at low speed (or see them if you open the bonnet). If they don't then there is a fault to find. Until you find out, you can always use the AC (if the fans do work). ________________________________________ XSi 8V -> S16 |

Sorry, I am only familiar with phase 1s, and there is no red there. 110 C is still in the "safe" zone, with two more lines to go. I would be nervous if the needle was always above the 110 C line. Specially in winter ... ________________________________________ XSi 8V -> S16 |
