207_gti Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 it can mean 3 things: 1. coolant level is low 2. water level is low 3. radiator fan not working remember when the car is being driven there is constantly air being passed through the radiator...so its easier to cool. i had the same problem on my Renault Clio...so i just removed the radiator cap, filled up with water and never had the problem again. hope this helps ADAPT Performance - Power Unleashed SOFTWARE TUNING & PERFORMANCE PARTS www.adaptperformance.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
premnath Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Along with gti points, also check AC fan is working. As while idle car overheat due to AC load too and while running as gti explained car radiator get air cooled automatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
