    Another overheating question

    This is my problem. When I'm running the car in the city 20-35MPH it gets warm pretty quick and will even shoot into the 3/4 and above on the temp gauge. My water pump is working and it doesn't have any water leaks nor the "Mocha Latte" syndrome in the coolant tank. Now when I'm rolling at speed on the 'bahn it maintains at about half. Any suggestions would defiently help. Thanks.

    How do I spell stress relief?:hitler:

      Fan clutch isn't needed to cool the car at those speeds. Sounds like the rad may be plugged up.
