Re: [DML] Delorean Overheating (almost)

DMC Joe:

I was originally responding to this question below. I think that the 
fans coming on at 220 is normal. If you are in stop and go traffic, 
the car will probably always stay around 220. As soon as you start 
driving fast, the car should cool down. So I don't think it would be 
necessary to bleed the system or do anything in the case mentioned 
below. Am I correct in my thinking? Because if not, I have a 
problem too.
