Needle on Tempreture Gauge gos neer red when tickover
Answers:
What is the weight of a audi tt compition wheel size 17". in kg?
The problem can be two fold.The temperature rises when the car ticks over and the electric fan should cut in.
The water system could have;
1/.An air lock..caused by a leak allowing the water to evaporate.
2/.Low water level.again caused by a leak.
3/.Faulty or leaking water pump.
4/.Loose fan belt...usually squeals too.
5/.Blocked radiator or cooling system...
Any of these can cause the problem.
Check the radiator level when COLD and top up if nescessary.
Place cardboard under the car when is has been run to see if there is a leak when it cools down.
Sounds like a radiator problem

How do i fix my timing on my Chevy 350?
You are saying you have no heating on tickover and the temp is on red. Then when you are driving everything is OK??So on tickover no matter what you do the heater will not work and temp stays on red?
Then you put it in gear, drive away and everything is OK?
I would say while driving the airflow through the rad cools the temp down enough to keep your red light off.
You obviously wont have this flow while standing still, but the fan should cut in and provide this air flow.
Most likely cause is the temp switch, if you have a hand book it will explain all! Just to be on the safe side remove your positive lead from the battery before you start, trace the cables from your fan to the detector,( usually stuck in the rad ' ) disconnect the 2 wires at the detector and just twist the ends together, wrap a bit of insulation tape round them after the twisting, reconnect your battery, turn on the ignition and the fan should run immediatly, this will prove that you need a new temp detector, not very expensive and easy enough to change, but dont just buy one from from your Fiat dealer, shop around, you will save at least 50%.
And get a handbook for a few quid it will save you a fortune, it will also tell you what to do next if its not your sender at fault, but my bet is the sender(detector)!!Good luck.
