Thanks for your reply.The engine runs too hot in summer when driving fast or very slow in traffic jams.A car dealer told me there`s way of switching the radiator from half(winter use) to full(summer use)via a screw located on the radiator.The problem is I can`t find this screw anywhere on the radiator and thought you might know more.

go back and ask him where it is i think he told you a JOKE? you could temp test with infrared meter to see if the whole thing is hot? if it heats in traffic is your fan coming on? almost sounds like its clogged?
