[QUOTE="Izso, post: 1064264068, member: 2429"] If the water pump is spoiled would it mean the temperature would be high all the time or only when hot? Mine is specifically only when ambient temperature is hot and only when the car is barely moving. I've already changed the thermostat to a new one. To permanantly leave the fan on? No thanks. I need some heat to warm up the engine when cold. 90% of engine wear occurs when the engine is cold, I don't want to wear it out that fast. Someone mentioned to me verbally to remove the thermostat - no thanks again. Aircon serviced before. Condensor cleaned, compressor serviced (inside parts swapped out) and aircon gas refilled. Done it one time only. I normally don't touch the aircon parts unless there's a problem - learnt it the hard way when I over serviced my old car and the condensor actually broke down faster than normal. Bolts were loose and all that too. Side by side with my other myvi the fan sounds and looks the same. If I'm parked and idling and the temp goes up, opening the hood stops the temp from going up. I'm guessing the fan works then? Not sure what you mean by a weak fan fuse? Or you mean weak fan? Fuse is ok since the fan is moving. Yeah.. already checked. Side by side with a 2008 Myvi. 2004 vs 2008 side by side and fan seems to be running the same. Like I said folks - this is a very strange problem. But I will try changing the radiator cap first, that might be stuck so pressure buildup when hot. That's actually a good idea actually - didn't think of replacing that. [/QUOTE]
