Theo, your story sounds familiar. This summer I had to deal with the same problem. Turning on the heating while queuing up in traffic jam... Changing the radiator helped alot :--)) Gammas are quiet exotic and they used to be exotic during the time they were manufactured. But Gammas are not that exotic that they deal with a built-in overheating problem. I used to drive a Gamma in the 80's and drove during vacation quiet a lot through Italy and France and back. Hamburg, Milano, Genova, Nice, Lyon, Frankfurt, Hamburg. It was July and the Gamma drove like hell. Overheating is not a specific problem related to Gammas. This problem is usually caused by radiators which plug up over the years. Don't forget: Our babies are not teenagers, they are grown up. Fans may be of suspect but changing the radiator is THE cure. Does anyone know if radiators can be cleant? Any special liquids available? Cheers, Christian
