OK, when I'm stuck in a jam, with the air-conditioning on, the car's temperature starts to climb pretty quickly. From about a usual steady 85-90 degrees to past the midway mark between 80 and 120, ie. 100. Is this normal? What's the max temperature that the car can "idle" at?
Edit; the ambient temperature, according to the car's thermometer is 37 degrees, and relative humidity is hovering around the 80% mark. Oh, and all temperatures are in degrees celcius.
This is the same for my Mk1 when sitting in traffic here in sunny England... but needle drops back to 1mm right of 80 when the car starts moving again.
