I spend a lot of my time in idling traffic. That was my issue. When driving, yes, fine. Stuck in gridlock with a high idle is no fun ... and hot! No worries ... Strike that one. Let's promote cooling fan not running to number 3. ... Or 4. ;) >>> Also, I'd add: >>> 5. Cooling fan not running correctly > >> Duh! Yup.

Water pump not running? Blown fuse? You shouldn't be disappointed. I'm a beginner, after all. I've learned a lot from owning three C900s upon which I have attempted most jobs. I've learned a lot from web resources and from questioning my mechanics. I suppose when general semantics get in the way of communication, one tends to say "this is how it is", rather than "perhaps it could be ...". So, perhaps it could be ... :) Still, dropping a vial of Bars Leaks into the system is unlikely to be helpful in this circumstance. I fear we might have confused the matter now.
