Working on this car and even at motorway speed the needle creeps into the red when you rev it above 2500ish. You can get it back down to normal temp by sticking the heating on.
The timing belt, water pump and radiator have all been replaced. It has been fully serviced and coolant replaced. Not cured it. The radiator is getting hot as it should so I would imagine the thermostat is ok. The fan is coming on but at what seems a bit high temp.
My next step will be block tester and compression tester to make sure the head hasn't gone.
I am not familiar with these cars or any car with electronic thermostat and it being designed to come on at 105 seems baffling to me. Any advice or insight into what the heck is going on would be much appreciated.
