Hi, when I drove home from work yesterday I noticed the car had somehow gained some form of extra power..it felt like my old Golf GTI. Weird. I noticed the temp gauge rising way faster than normal, by the time I got home 5minutes later it was on normal but the car smelled 'hot'. As I got out, the 2 rad fans were whizzing full speed, and continued to do so for a good 10 minutes after I turned the car off. Oil and water levels are fine, oil temp on the display says 64deg C.
Now its just over freezing here, I normally only hear the fan come on in traffic when it's blazing summer. I only live 5mins from work yet it reaches working temp in about 2 mins. I get this weird turbo-boost and a hot smell. I have no aux heating on or heated seats. There are no warning lights. It is doing every journey now even if I go 2 miles.
Any ideas, folks? It is under warranty but there's a huge waiting list for the garage.
