Coolant gauge has previoulsly never reached halfway. Oil temp 215 -



220. Might reach 230 on a HOT day, uphill.

Gets slightly above half mark, oil temp reached 256 today @



60mph(75-80 deg), Fans run 10 min or so at shutoff(never heard fans before this without air on). Very slow to cool off after shutdown-3hours and still above 140 degrees(oil)

Also, A/c not as cold, gets warmer at stoplights, gets slowly but noticably colder during first 7-10 minutes of driving.



Thermostat, housing, coolant etc, etc just replaced.



It's worse, and I'm out $699



thanks
