Hey everyone,
Long time guest first time post,
It seems my car (SV6 2006) is showing on the temp gauge that it is in the red after the car has been parked up with the engine off for 5 or 10 mins after a 30 to 40min drive, Ive just replaced the radaitor cap as that when and fixed a very minor leak in the cooling system.
The SV doesnt overheat in traffic with the ac on or off and will drop down within a minute or two off turning the car on and driving away.
My thoughts are the Thermostat isnt opening fully and needs the water pump to push it open.
Any idea?
Cheers,
Matty
