I have a 96 Saturn, SL1, 4 door... I bought it used two years ago and so far I had no problems until recently It started to overheat.
So i took it to my mechanic for a check up and he changed the radiator cap, thermostat and the sensor switch on the fan...it does not overheat to the max but it does not keep in cool temperature either. When driving in the city and highway, the gauge goes past the half mark (which in the past, it went just past the quarter mark) it bothers me because if I was to sit in traffic that gauge would not stay it would go to the red mark and heat up, my mechanic says that it's fine and it's suppose to do that, but I know my car and I know how far the temperature gauge should be... Any suggestions on what else to check for?
could it be the radiator or the water pump. should I get a pressure check on the cooling sysytem? Any suggestions is greately appreciated.
