Hi

I have a Corsa B 1.4 IS, when i drive in slow traffic the heating gauge goes almos to 100 C, most of the times my fan turns on at 96-97C, it was recon by myself and it did it before i recon the engin, is this a freat to me headgasket. It did have a aircon after an accident, i did not get it renewed.

When i drive on the (higway, open roads) it stays at 90c where i want it to stay.

it also did it with anti-freeze and with plain water in the system. The radiator and fan are new.

The temprature i am using is celsius.

Any advise will help

Thanks A lot
Werner
