I'm curious about temperature of wira....
Last time i speed around 130kmh at the highway back to home, then i found out after a while my temperature go above mid-point. (With Air-con on)

Is this consider normal? cause i don't really know how it work and i still a newbie.

I would appreciate help from you guys... Thanks.

When was the last time you check your radiator water level and change your coolant?

Check hoses for leaks as well.

removing the thermostat is stupid... why? because the car have to run on a certain tempreture to achieve efficiency. If thermostat broken, just replace it. dont remove it...

Ya... usually temperature will be high when stop after high speed run, and that's why turbo car needs turbo timer.

Just double check the water/coolant level and lubricant oil level when temperature is abnormal. If the temperature rises during traffic jam, need to check the fan and its' relay. Maybe the radiator efficiency degrades over time as well...
