My temperature gauge goes up fast when my A/C is turn on and cool is gone, this happens when humidity is hot like 80 to 100 degrees AM or PM. I have to wait for gauge to set to middle to turn back A/C which is not fun to do and ride when its boiling outside and no A/C. I have to turn off A/C to lower the temp gauge. Is this normal for 850's? 'coz I know that the temp gauge should only stay mid of the gauge if everything is normal. I have a foreign car and does not even got affected by the heat outside and gauge stay in the middle. Do 850's notorious in overheating?

Checked any leaks but found none to the Radiator, Water Pump, checked also Auxiliary Fan...seems working but have a humming sound - not sure if this normal for 850.

I would really appreciate responses from 850 lovers and keepers. Thanks a ton!
