Ok so i take my 2008 MCS to the Dealership to get the sunroof worked on (it sticks when trying to open) well for the 5th time they fixed it, while the Mini was there they replaced the Timing chain, and did the recalls for the auxiliary water pump for the turbo, ever since the Mini has been using coolant i filled it back up and it was ok, this morning on my way to work the mini reached temperatures of 276+ i coasted and it went down then when i got on the gas the temp would rise again, i called the dealership and they said it had nothing to do with all the work they did to the mini. anyone have any input i would appreciate it.

thank you

 

is the water pump even hooked up?

also, you in Gen 1 threads, no turbo minis here!
