No idea whether it's actually hot, guess I need to try a thermometer, but like I said, I drive for upwards of half an hour after the initial spike and it's fine. The other day, before I noticed, I drove for an hour and a half with cool AC and (presumably) a cool engine for the whole time after the first few minutes. I just added more radiator fluid though, think it'll help? | |

| Jul 5, 2019 at 16:51 | comment | added | el toro | But do you think it's actually running hot or is it an issue with the thermostat or meter? The last 30 minutes of my drive have cool AC/engine. I'll go outside and check my fans soon and update | |
