Sagaris water temp in traffic

[minicooperturbo]

When I'm sitting in a traffic jam (or even in a queue for a traffic light), the water temp on my sagaris is very high. It quickly gets 100, and then keeps on climbing to 110. I had a cerbera before, and it's temp got to abput 105, and then came down quickly to about 95.

What temps are the rest of you seeing in traffic jams? Should I be worring?

Both fans are working...

Thanks.

Check coolant level - had a problem with mine where there was a loose jubilee clip where fluid loss took place - previous thread on this forum.
Fixed at HHC very quickly (many thanks!!), and hardly above 90 since.

Our Tamora usually gets to 97-99 when sat in traffic.

Never gone over 95..coolant level always remains constant never added any (4.5k)

Thanks for the info. I topped the water up last night. On the way home from work, it got very hot (115+), but this morning, it was about 80 while driving, and between 90 and 95 when in traffic.

I guess I'll just have to keep an eye on it, and get the dealer to look at it at the 6K service, which is only 500 miles away.
