| Jun 14, 2018 at 18:55 | comment | added | Dan Mantyla | I just went on a test drive in brutal heat today (97*F). After 30 minutes of 75+ MPH, it started running hot and the temp gauge slowly went up. I slowed down to 65 MPH and turned on the heater and the temp stayed the same - about 230*F. When I got into the city, the temp slowly started to drop, even without the heater on. | |
