Hi all and thanks for replying! The fan relay should be fine, as the fan does kick in (and cycles properly) with the AC on or off. I drove today with the AC off and noticed the gauge rising to about 3/4, but it stays there. Using the heater has no effect. I went to the dealer today to pick up my 940 and they tell me that it is normal for the 460 to operate at high temp, but I am not the least convinced... They tell me there is a sensor for the gauge and another for the fan control, so one of these must be giving inaccurate readings, as the fan is shutting off when it reaches a certain temp, but the gauge is still showing signs of overheat... I will check the thermostat and heating rate for the various engine parts...

Thanks and looking forward to more ideas;
JGCBAIZ
