Overheating was created by oldsilver
I just got myself a Jimny which was running fine, no problems until I drove it on a moter way? the temperature is fine in traffic or around town but as soon as I try and go over 55 or up a long hill it starts to overheat, if I keep driving at 55 or under or even let it tickover it will come back down.If it was the thermostat wouldn't it over heat in traffic?
