Engine heats quickly

Post by Chris D » Tue Jun 11, 2013 8:15 pm

Hi can any body advise if it is normal for engine to be hot after a few minutes. Oil/Water seem ok. Car also seems to kangaroo for first few miles before running properly. HG, Water pump, timing belt supposedly recently done in May 2013. May be concerned over nothing.

Coolant should be up to temp after about 3 miles.
