Hi guys and gals, here's one for you! (88T Automatic 7M GTE)
 
 
Cylinder head gasket and all other gaskets under the hood have been
renewed, 
the thermostat is new, the radiator is new, the fanclutch is  new, all the 
belts are new, and the valve-seal-gaskets are new, along  with a renewal of
all 
necessary fluids and oils (this all took place 60 miles  ago). The 
engine-compartment (area in front of radiator) is free of all  obstructions
such as 
leaves etc.
 
Scenario number 1: I drive in town and the temp gauge stays normal at  
exactly 50 %.
 
Scenario number 2:  I take the beast out onto the  freeway (Autobahn) and as

long as I drive  
                               (very fast!) and the engine is cooled by the 
air from the  front, the temp  
                               gauge stays normal, or just "slightly" above 
normal. 
 
Scenario number 3: I come off the Autobahn down to a stop-sign, and the  
temperature gauge 
                              rises dramatically (I guess due to no incoming

air from the front  
                             anymore),  into the forbidden "red" zone!
 
Scenario number 4: I get home a few minutes later, park the beast in the  
garage, hear a 
                              bubbling and a gurgling from the overflow 
watercontainer at the front, and 
                              the Suprabeast spits a certain amount of 
water/coolant onto my garage 
                              floor! 
 
My questions: 1. Would a more intensive "bleeding" of the water-system  
alleviate 
                         this  problem (if there were airbubbles still in
the 
system after the  repairs)??.
 
                      2.  The fanclutch is "original" Toyota and cost me 279

Euros - Toyota wouldn't, 
                          by  any chance, sell me a fanclutch without 
fanclutch-fluid in it, would 
                           they??? 
 
                      3.  How do I test for the correct functioning of the 
fanclutch?
 
                       4. Can anyone amongst you think of any other reason, 
why my beast is doing 
                           this (and tell me), before I sell the f****ing 
thing, that I have been the proud 
                           owner of for many years (1996!). This is the 
second engine by the way, the 
                           first one got mangled after the FIRST bhg, which
I 
chose to ignore, and 
                           which buckled just about everything under the
hood 
that can be buckled, 
                           and cost me 4.750 Euros at Toyota for a 
replacement engine!
 
Any, and I mean any input at this frustrating point in time  would be much 
appreciated!
 
Many thanks in advance,
Derek from Germany
88T Automatic (for the time-being!).
