When driving around town at speeds below 40 MPH I have noticed my 156 GTA is sailing past 90degs to roughly 95ish....and gladly the fans kick in.

Is this right??? I'm not really used to having a car that gets that hot in such a short time. Sometimes from cold the car can be up to these temps in around 10 minutes of normal driving.....is this okay my fellow Alfa Friends ???

PS: I'm still having squeaky probs with my bloody brakes Mr Ned !!!

Seems normal cos mine does the same with the A/C off.. with the A/C on she is just shy of 90.. and i have a new waterpump with metal impeller and a new thermostat.. maybe my rad is clogged,... dunno, but my mechanic says it's normal...
