So I got myself a cheap bluetooth OBD reader which I can use with my android phone. Using this I've noticed that the coolant temp is about 85 celcius (185 fahrenheit) when driving, but in stop & go traffic and idling quickly rises to 105-115 celcius (220-240). This is with outside temp of 12-14 celcius (around 55 fahrenheit).
Are these normal temperatures? Seems a bit high to me when it isn't warmer outside.
Incidentally the problem I've been having with no heat in stop&go traffic seemed to be starting when temp passed boiling point. Coolant is 50/50 mix with new G5 coolant and demineralized water. NTC sensor is also new.
