I bought my 1994 9000 CDE (non turbo) last winter, so I am not used to driving it in warm weather. (Springtime in the UK is 21 C/70 F max.) The temp gauge never actually gets into the red, but it almost always goes up near to it whenever I'm in a traffic queue, even after just say 5 minutes, then the fan comes on and it goes back to the middle - I've never had a car that does this, normally the needle just stays in one place Most of the time I'm on the motorway so it stays in the middle due to the air movement I imagine ACC is switched on all the time (but only set at 23 c) The dealer doesn't think there is a problem, but I'm concerned it may overheat in hot weather, or abroad on summer holiday (France) I have changed the expansion cap lid, no effect Any advice please Thanks very much Chris
