Bill,
Both my 3 and 4 do not overheat. I just drove the 3 up from PA to home (over
250 miles) with a traffic jam on 476 north up hill for about 1/2 hour and the
highest it got was a bit over 70C. Never entering the right most center
margin. After the jam cleared the temp went down to < 70C for the rest of the
ride home.
Both the 3 and 4 have the older 4A larger fan, 50-50 antifreeze/ distilled
water + water wetter.
The 4 always is spot on 70C or a little bit less.
Also both cars have stock radiators and radiator shrouds + 165F thermostats.
Bob
