If the temperature is rising noticeably in traffic, are you running with the air conditioning turned off? In that condition you have no front fans running, no airflow when stationary so it will run hotter.

ive just brought the car so maybe its had short journeys.

Doesn't get above 97 but i might flush system and put fresh coolant in.

ill prob do a oil change too.
I do my oil every 3 - 4k, and use Vx semi (£30 for 4 x 5l on TC), for the cost and time it takes, well worth doing :)


I agree with TB's comments - I do my oil every 2k usually, and filter every 4k. This is a bit over the top, but it's so cheap on trade club, and it keeps my engine squeaky clean :y
