I've also asked a couple of independent mechanics and they weren't sure if it's normal or not.

When only one fan is on (a/c off or a/c on but compressor off ??), the temp can go up to 92-95 degree C (probably closer to the end of 0 on you 180 mark), technically not overheating yet, when both on, the temp is only about 82-85 C).

Is your temp similar ?

Please let me if you do get both your fans to come on at low speed with a/c off. My series resistor should be arriving sometime next month, so will only be installing it then. Will let u know if that changes things.

Replaced the resistor and the problem is gone. also, claening the radiotors and condensers made a huge difference in loweing the coolant temp.
