Hi, i have trouble with my temperatur gauge reading 105-110 celsius (225F), its stable at 105-110 (225F) all the time. As mentioned in other threads i have replaced and done everything and all sensors are good, but yesterday i used tha car (i dont use it to much) and it was 0 celsius outside and i didnt get tha car very hot inside in a 10min ride, but the engine was 105-110 celsius (225F) all the time. There is hot air coming out of the fan ducts, but not very hot. If i let the car go on idle it gets a litle hotter (the air). I can feel big (if i hold on them) difference in the temperature on the hoses that goes to the heater core. I use a 82 celsius (180F) Thermostat and the water in the radiator isnt to hot at all. Could it be bad flow in the heater core thats the big problem. If i run without thermstat att all it takes a litle longer before it goes up to 105-110 celsius (225F), but it stays up there then to. I have flushed the system 2 times, but i havent flushed the heater core (alone).

If it is bad flow in the coolant system, could it be hot in the rear of the engine and normal (cold) in the front? I havent replaced the water pump, i have a new one but when i tok out the old it was 100% and almost new.
