The heater feels as if it's blowing hotter than normal, actually. Of course, it was also very hot outside.
Could it be that the water pump is damaged but marginally effective, so that the fluid is still moving, but not fast enough to effectively dissipate heat? But then, the heat did come on immediately.
I also wondered if it could be the rad that's not working correctly.
What scares me about all of this is that I don't know how long this has been an issue -- if it was a little cooler outside, I may not have noticed anything. Have I been damaging my engine over the last few weeks? If my engine is running hot, that must also impact the transaxle, no?
But then, I had thought recently that my tour's performance was stronger than normal....
Added:
If the issue is a stuck shut thermostat, would the coolant hoses be extremely hot to the touch? Would the fan be on frequently?
