Engine is to hot??

[MayzerRT]

I have an issue where if im having my car in idle, its like the cooling fluid is bad? Because i had a OBD tester on my car, and it Said it was 98 degrees!? And when its around there the cooling fan starts up, but im guessing this should not happend since theres no hot Sun? Its a 1.6 8v VTS from 2003

how long were you idling for? could be stuck thermostat. check to see if the rads getting warm at all


my old VTR used to run quite hot at times, think the fan was quite quick to kick in

How and when do i check?

If the engine is at running temperature, leaving the car at idle will make the fan kick in at some point because there's no wind hitting the radiator. Perfectly normal.

this should not happend since theres no hot Sun?

Coolant heats because of engine temperature, nothing to do with the sun
