The engine gets hotter the few minutes its shut off, so its never good for the engine to restart it 1 or 2 minutes of shut off.Still, the temp gauge should not indicate increase in temp, but remain at the optimal temp range. Even after long 100km++ high speed drives on highways and u take a toilet/coffee/smoke break, yr temp will not raise upon restart of the car... no??I suspect Tong may have a faulty thermostat, which doesnt open when he re-starts his car to cool the engine, but opens only when he drives off and after the thermostat itself (not the water) gets hot.Tong, u may have some faulty, or about to be very faulty components in yr cooling system. Have u checked all the components, like thermostat, fan and fan clutch, and the said aircon heater for leaks?? Sounds like one component is about to give way.....How long had u have this problem??</blockquote>
