T350c water temperature

[Chalky]

Can anyone assist me. My T350c seems to run at an incredibly high water temperature circa 100 degrees plus when idling for what seems a very short time. I get the warning bleeps everytime it creeps a few degrees higher but unless I get moving, the temperature does not reduce and occasionally reaches 120 degrees. I also hear a hissing steam sound as if excess water/steam is being released, this seems to come up towards the windscreen from under the bonnet at irregular intervals and irregular length of spurt. I also seem to get a whiff of coolant. The fans appear to be cutting in but do not seem to reduce the temperature. Any assistance please. Chris

Have you checked the cooling fluid level ?

Chris,

Have a look at these two threads ref. my recent overheating experiances.

These appear to be similar to your problems & mine appears to be linked to a problem on the head. I can give you some more info as well on the problem & sensors if you need.
