Engine Cooling problem
1999 Fiat Punto Manual

my cars temp. gauge reads above 3/4 after about 5 minutes driving and goes into the red if i have to slow down or stop in traffic. Also my fans blow cold air all the time even when the engines hot. I recently replaced the thermostat so i know it's not that. Any ideas?

Hi there,

you may have a air lock in the cooling system, and i would have the radiator check for a partial blockage, start here.
