I leave my car running on drive for ten minutes or say I'm in traffic at a junction ect the cars temp gauge just keeps rising the fan finally kicks in at over 100 degrees and it goes down, is this normal? When I'm driving it's ok hovers around 90. I own a 1.4 3 door 1994

Sounds like your fan switch it would kick in around 80-90

Mine don't kick in till 100 either buddy so I wouldn't worry, just part of owning old cars, get fun in the summer in traffic and you think it's gonna boil over so you've got the fans in full drawing the heat off the engine and sweating [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Normal running temp is 90 on most corsas I've seen, I've changed the rad in mine and re bled the system and it sits at 90 nearly all the time now Gotta be stuck for ages for it creep up to 100 now but like I say when it does the fan kicks in

I was actually testing to see if my fan was kicking in on my 4door before and took AAAAGES to heat up to 100 but when it did the fan kicked in. Driving around it was always at 90, even with the head blown lol

Fan in the corsa is set not to kick in till the 100 mark, only way to get it earlier is to bridge the switch and put your own switch in the dash somewhere but then your solely responsible for the turning on and off of the fan
