when you switch on the ignition, make sure the temp gauge is at the bottom, mine went halfway up when switched on. with the ignition turned on pull off the needle and reset it at cold.worked for me!!

My thoughts exactly, is it in fact over heating or do you just have a dodgy gauge.
If this hot in reality the heater would be scalding hot, is it ?
How long does it run like this, is the water boiling ?
