Hi all
Few days ago my 2010 500 got herself some kind of overheating i guess - the gauge went 2 full cubes above the half (3 out of 4 fully bars - or 6 out of 8 total)
so i stopped the car and the water at the radiator was bubbling but no leaking from the cap, and the water was between MIN to Max, so i placed the gear on N and then it went down back to half (4 cubes) after the radiator fan did what it needed to for about 10+- minutes.
I took it to dealership to check if there's a problem - they couldn't find anything because the problems only shows on highspeeds, and on low speeds the car stays on the half gauge.
They replaced the thermostat, so i left the car for the night and they told me theyv'e checked it and now its ok!
I took it today and drove it for about an hour under 104 F temp / 40 C very hot day, and again after 1 hour of driving - half cube went up (5 out of 8 total cubes at the gauge).
so i stopped the car again and put it on N and it went down after 10+- minutes.
I dont know - maybe its normal with the 500's? or does the Temp' have to be at the half all the time?
the car is maintaind every 10,000 KM, Castrol magnatec 5W40 oil, original parts and runs very well
that is the first time it happaned to me, and i dont remembering driving in very hot days like this with the car temperature going much above the avarage.
Any thoughts?
