Hello Bill,

There's no need to worry, it won't. An idling engine isn't under load so produces far less heat than when it is propelling the car. I see no evidence that there's anything wrong with your cooling system.

You say that the "demist" test is positive so there cannot be anything wrong with your silver resistor. There's absolutely no need to take off the bumper again.

Your previous overheating problem would have been caused by the fan blades being detached from the motor. Now that you have repaired that, you should expect no further trouble.

Simon
