Hyundai Trajet Gas Problem
While driving with Aircon, the temperature is ok. However after driving a distance when the car stops the temperature moves up. I then turnoff the Aircon and the temperature comes down. However sometimes it does not. Last suggestion was to change the Aircon fan. Even after replacing the fan I am still having the same problem. Any help pls.

have a leak down test done first to confirm the gasket has failed

Do you mean a compression test?
no, a leak down test. they inject air in to one cylinder at a time and watch for pressure loss and coolant movement in the radiator.
Roy
Oh.... Ok.
