Ok, calling on all TTnetters to lay these myths to rest. Today was a scorching 101 degrees downtown, so you know the road temperature was 120-130 degrees minimum. No relief for the engine at all. Add to that very little airflow cause you are packed into a stagnant sea of cars. Not only that but your poor engine is sucking up all the hot, stale exhaust gases of the cars around you - sheesh! It's a wonder your beautiful Z32 doesn't burst into a ball of flames right there on the street, or melt into an amorphous puddle of rubber, plastic, and metal. Your temp. needle starts to creep upward from it's rock solid 9 o'clock position and you wonder what to do... So lay these summer myths to rest for me: 1. If the temperature needle starts to creep upward, relief is only one step away - turn on the heat! 2. The a.c. puts a much greater load on the engine when the blower fan is set to high vs. a modest low!
