#1: 206 gti 138 temp 98-100 when standing still, 80-90 when run Author: scoop, Location: cairo,egyptPosted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 4:08 am ---- i have been living with this for a year, any clue why does the temp rise to 100 when standing still?? does it concern resistor that is mounted right next to the fan?? and could there be any damage that happened to the engine after all this time??

Mine kicks in at just over 90. The temp normally sits around 85 to 90 though. If your sat still youve got no airflow over your radiator, so there temp will go up.

I did this and fitted a new thermostat, cleaned the coolant temp sensor, never gets above 90, even stood still.

I guess the weather is just hotter in your part of the world then over here in the UK
Reason temp will rise when standing still is the lack of forward airflow through the radiator.
Are both fan speeds working correctly?
Maybe a better radiator will help with cooling, no idea if Peugeot fit a normal / Europe spec radiator on hot climate cars

problems if your not happy could be thermostat, sure you could change tha for cheap enough
