[QUOTE="Grand, post: 435699, member: 6501"] Its either the fan clutch, termostat or the wiring connected to it. When your car is in an extended stop, the air inside your engine bay gets hot and if the auxillary fan is not automatically switched on to disperse the hot air, temp will surely rise. What I did as a temporary measure (before I have the time to let the air cond guy check the clutch etc,), just step lightly on the accelerator while putting your gear in N when stuck in extended jam and hopefully you can feel the cold air coming out again. Once you feel the cold air, its an indication that the auxillary fan is on. Mine was not due to a faulty clutch, Naidu said its some loose wiring connected to the fan clutch. [/QUOTE]
