if the fan was fooked and ive been driving it and sitting in traffic would the car have over heated by now ???

just be worring a bit .

if i took it for a drive now and then get out and pop the bonnet once the temp gauge is half way , then how long should it be till the fan kicks in ???

or how the hell does car stay at one temp if the fan dont kick in ???

should it be a viscous fan like a bmw etc ?
