Hi there. I have a 2005 VZ V6 and just recently it will overheat (little picture comes up on screen saying its overheating) and the guage is just about at the top. Im not quite sure that it is actually hot, because i pulled the car over and opened the bonnet and could rest my hand comfortably on the top of the engine, and couldnt feel much heat rising from the engine. It was a cool morning, i don't have any coolant leaks, the coolant has been full every month that i check it, there is not frothing on the engine cap which would indicate something was wrong. Im thinking it may be a temperature sensor just saying that it is hot? or maybe it is really hot and i just cant tell. the thermo fans are coming on when the guage is just above half so that seems normal. Im just wondering if this is common or if anyone knows what could be wrong? This has happened randomly 4 or 5 times over the last month or so.
