Description of the problem | After stopping the car, the cooling fan remains on, and the engine seems inappropriately hot, yet i had not driven that far. Ideas range from a blocked radiator, a poor thermostat? The coolant had been changed. Has anyone else reported a similar problem? It was only 70 to75 degrees and often a bit humid, but usually at night since i seldom drove in the heat of the day. It was parked and the temp of the engine was never above 190 degrees, though the engine felt hot. This happened many times (10 plus) mostly during the winter in florida. I reported it once but the tech didn't see it as a problem. What do you think? |
