My 2005 mini cooper s runs hot while in traffic, when I turn the a/c it seems to help or if I start driving again. Sometimes it will spike a little while driving then cool down. Coolant level is ok the warning lights have never come on

Ok, thank you sounds like I should take it to a mini dealer. I bought the car used and this first trouble I have had in 2 years so I can't complain.
