This happened on April 18th. I went for a coolant change for my Proton Persona. I know the workshop and since they were the distributor for the coolant, I trusted in their ability to handle the installation of the coolant.
During the installation, when they had drained the original coolant and had begun to pour in the new coolant, they seemed professional as I expected them to be. However, when the engine started to run, so that they can be sure that the cooling system is functioning, the temperature rose from 70 Degrees to 110 Degrees. I saw that happen for a brief moment and I believe that the engine hit 110 degrees for about 10 minutes before it was shut down.
The reason for the high temp was because they did not bleed the air out of the engine properly. It was not caused by the coolant application.
Has anyone here had any experience with Campro IAFM engine overheating? The temperature was at 110 degrees Celsius for about 10 minutes. It did not touch the red line. Water is always full in the radiator and no water in the oil so far. Can I assume that all is fine and the engine is not damaged?
I took it to Proton and they said no problem. The dealer wrote me an email to say that they have seen temperatures above 100 degrees and no problem.
Many thanks in advance for your kind advice.
