Cooling still not great

[shacky]

160 degree is what I had put in.

Still questioning - does low speed fan come on when A/C is off?

Yes, at least in my car the low speed fans come on without the A/C when the coolant temp rises to 100 C - just checked this with Durametric las week.

Am I the only one questioning where the leak is if you have to add coolant to a sealed system ?

Or am I completely missing something here ?

Same in mine. When you are saying the temp is still creeping up, did you actually look at the temp value how high it goes up to? Boiling temperature is completely normal. Does it go any higher than that?

When the fans kick in, the temp creeps up another 0,5 C (to 100,5 C) and then comes down pretty quikly.

When I did the test, I had been driving over an hour. Turned the engine off, connected the Durametric, restarted the car and let it idle while occasionally given a bit or addittional rpm. This whiel following the actual values on the temperature with Durametric.

Yes, that`s totally fine, I did the same and had the same reading. Sorry for the confusion, my comment was referencing to the OP`s post about the temperature "still creeping up". I`m just wondering if the OP confirmed that the high temperature that he sees is indeed out of the normal range, i.e. way over 100C.
