Re: Hot engine

We've had a pretty hot summer here in the Fraser Valley and Emma has been 
running
at just over the halfway mark on the temp. gauge.  That's on the open back 
roads;
in traffic it inches up towards 3/4 pretty quick.  I keep an eye on it VERY
closely.  It hasn't gone past 3/4 yet.  I'm curious as to when the electric
fan should be coming on - mine doesn't seem to activate 'til about the 3/4 mark.
 I've bought a summer 160 thermostat but haven't gotten around to installing
it yet.

Cheers,
