Hopefully my fellow Kia owners are as diligent about posting as my fellow Saturn owners. It seems like I can always find info in Google Groups.
I have a 2003 Kia Optima, with about 68,000 miles on it. A few weeks ago the temperature gauge started climbing up. Its the car my husband primarliy drives, and its reached the point where he's got to have the heater on full blast to keep the guage from getting into the red. With the heater on it sits just under the midway mark.
I've never had a thermostat/radiator issue on a car with miles so far below 150,000. Is this a normal occurance for an Optima? Is there something else I should be looking at??
Any insight you can offer will be greately appreciated.
Thanks everyone!!!
