I think I got this. He was cruising around one warm day and decided to turn the temp knob to max cool. Then the water temp gauge dropped. Went in for a coolant flush, and the water temp is still reading below the halfway (nominal) mark.

there won't necessarily be coolant drops in the engine bay if they did a quality flush. Does your engine temp go back up when you turn the dial back to heat?

When you turn the A/C on, the secondary fan should come on to help cool both the condenser and the radiator, I really wouldn't worry about it.
If you want to come out this weekend, I'll actually be putting in a new radiator b/c I overheat when I turn the A/C on..... -------------------- ~bloodMoney

i dont understand how turning the heater on makes the engine run warmer than not having it on. -- should be the opposite
either way i'd be flushing the engine, the heater core and replacing the thermostat -------------------- Mike W

I think the thermostat is out. Mine would fluctuata also before I changed it. What seems to be
hapnin when you turn to cool(closed) the water travels less of a path thus warms up more, then open or turn temp up water flws through inside of car cooling it more. On a downhill my car temp would go all the. Way down. Sorry bout spell phone is terrible writing |
