Hi there
When idling or in traffic the temp gauge goes up from 85 to over 90. Once in free flowing traffic the temp comes down.

Oils etc are fine - last serviced in Feb 09 - due again Feb 10.

What should I check before I ring the service dept?

Thank you

Hi there,

Make sure that the cooling fans are turning on.
