Is your thermostat reaching the right temp? or have you recently replaced the coolant? or does it smell of coolant in the cab?
could be a few different things mate

Hmmm, does the car overheat at all? Water pump could be faulty.

Mine is the same. Not yet changed thermostat as that sounds like it's staying open so not letting the water get to temperature

as said, are you noticing any coolant loss? are both the top and bottom hoses on the radiator getting hot when car is at running temperature?
