306 D Turbo Temp

[jimi]

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

Seen that on mine.

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