What hood is that on your car? How much was it?

Replaced my dash inserts (the stupid orange ones) because my old ones were shot. Tight as a <insert imagination here>.

I know this is the wrong thread but I need quick input.

Left indoor garage 20 mins ago. 10 mins of slow traffic (15-20mph) and temp needle is at 3/4. Shut off immediately, OBC menu says coolant temp is at 0112, which I think is 11.2 Celcius. No coolant spills in engine bay. Engine cold to the touch. Level is fine but I have air somewhere. I'm thinking maybe the hot air pocket got stuck in tstat area. System has 40k on it.

Is 11.2C really the level where car overheats? Maybe radiator fan is dead? Temp needle is back to 12:00 and OBC says 0096 now (15 mins since shutoff)

Tow?

that is read as 112C... maybe an air pocket? 12 o'clock on the needle should be around 97C (that's the operating temp of the thermostat)

Your water temp sensor is in towards the back of the head on the driver side. It may have an air pocket up there. Mine did that not long ago and the reading was completely redlined. Once I bled off the air, the temp dropped like a champ.

112 makes more sense lol. I read on the hidden OBC thread that 0021 was 2.1C, which is why I thought I was running 11.2.

Yup, I think it's my air pocket f***ing with me yet again. I ended up walking to my destination since I was pretty close, and left there around 3 hours after my post. I started the car at 22C, it went up to 110 again (I turned the car off and coasted in neutral when it did) and suddenly temp reading went 110 > 70 instantly. Was normal for the rest of the drive home. Coolant flush imminent.
