Who can help.
I cant get the air from the vents of the car to come out very warm. My dealer has said that on this dash display under factory settings you can alter the flap control, which is correct you can.
It would appear when you alter said control the air temp does increase however the car then seems to run hot. i.e the water temprature around town is 100 degs
Anyone else's car run at a water temp of 100
Does anyone know if this flap control has any other implications

I was not aware you could change the heater settings (other than via the dial that is!) as with mine I am always having to turn the heater down or off cos the car gets so hot (even in this weather!!).
My temp seems to run around the high 70's early 80's until I hit traffic and then its straight up in the 90's

There are many and it really depends on the nature of the failure (where the gasket leak path has developed).
Oil in Water or water in oil are common.
Excessive water/steam from the exhaust system.
Big varaition in the operating temperature.
Rough running (less than 6 cylinders firing)- this may only be noticed on start up, but again, depnds on the nature or the severity of the failure.
Loss of performance.
Hope this helps either way.

Hi
When my Tamora was new it did run a little hot but after a few K it settled down so I would just check the fluid levels regularly and only worry if the temp goes well over 100 degs. The pressure system will prevent the system from boiling at that temp so you sould be safe anyway. In the summer mine often goes to 101 -102 degs but the second fan comes on at about 97 and brings it all back under control.
Hope this help.

Checked the header as soon as I got home. EMPTY!!
Filled it up ran the car up to temp, then it dumped it all onto the floor.
Happy Days !!
The header should be almost empty, I was told, and it says in the manual also that the coolant should only have about 10mm at the bottom of the expansion tank, mines always been that way without ever overheating.
(can't wait to have heater blower fixed though!! brrrrrr)

Conflicting reports here then.
So should the header tank at cold be full9 2 Inches from top) or empty.
The tanks had about an inch of fluid in it before i filled it. After it had dumped and the engine gone cold again it was back down to the same level, as if it had self leveled itself.
