After 10 days of testing, so far no overheating but the needle still goes below 3rd stripe.
This happens usually at night when it's not hot and without speeding or A/C on, if either speeding or A/C is on, the needle is at the 3rd stripe.
Any hints ?

Re: High temprature problem
Today I received the car back, they told me to change the fan resistor.....and they cleaned the A/C compressor fins. They told that the resistor seemed to be not operative well.....I didn't really understand that Indian guy who told me. Anyway, I took it for a ride of around 200KM today and the temp...

Re: High temprature problem
What was the ambient temperature? Check the coolant level. You may have a sensor problem, or the coolant pump could be to blame, or maybe a leak. Very difficult to tell from your initial post. ambient temperature was around 80F coolant level was OK and there's nothing indicating a leak so far. How ...

Re: whining noise from fuel pump while engine is on
From an initial read, it would seem likely that all your symptoms are related to the fuel tank pump. There may be debris blocking it or in the fuel lines. Do you routinely run the tank low on fuel before topping up? Never went below the quarter sign since 2005 except for a few times. I always refil...
