Anyone Still Out There?

 Im not sure with its cooling power my temps just goes up and down most of the time, fan kicks when its too hot for my liking so I manually switch it on or off with a button. Car also leaked coolant when I first got it but a mechanic sealed it but I still have to check and top up the water after every ride.

if temp goes up and down, you may have a slow loss of pressure, such as a bad radiator cap. When the engine is cold, pop the radiator cap and inspect for a cracked rubber seal... and you will loose a bit of coolant as well... as when the pressure drops the coolant is burped thru the leaky seal of the radiator cap. that happened to me, and it took me a while to find out, when I pressure tested the cooling system, there was no loss of pressure... but I was still loosing a bit of coolant and the temp was fluctuating a bit...  now it is fixed
