Ok...It's been a least two hours since I switched it of...I've just turn the ignition on and the temp gauge went straight to 200 degrees...The block is still slightly warm but not 200 degrees....I've ordered a IR temp gun but that'll take a couple of days to come...if the header tank cap was badly fitted would that let steam out...what I'm thinking is that with a faulty 200degree reading and steam coming out of the tank...maybe the car is not reaching temp? That's why the rad is Luke warm and no fans are cutting in...and by the way my name is Dean ( not knob of dog in spanish)
