Possibly overheating?

  1. #1
    Hi,

    I drove my car home from work today which is around 20 miles and my fans were going crazy?

    I checked the temperature gauge and it was a little above half.

    Is this normal? The temperature rises quite quickly.

    Was going to suggest that, mine never over heats even when giving it the beans.

    Ah, really?

    I took out my dipstick and it snapped..

    I replaced my wheel trims and managed to cut my hand open..

    Do you really think I should be doing this myself?

    My temp guauge goes a knats cock over half before the fan cuts in and the fan cuts out just under half i would be worried if the needle reached the three quarter mark on the guage.
