Hi all,

Just got a 306 D turbo, normally the temp sits at around 75-80ish on a run, I got caught in traffic yesterday and the temp slowly rose to just over 90, I was a bit concerned at this, it stayed just slightly over halfway on the gauge for 5-10 mins no steam or anything, when I started moving again it went back down to normal.

Is this normal?? All my other cars have stayed rock steady on the gauge Im not sure if this is a 306 trait? Can someone advise please?

Thanks

Yep, they do go up in traffic. At around 95 the fans should kick in though to keep it all cool.
