My 97 RS starts to run hot whenever i get to crusin around 60 or 70mph. It isnt extremely hot but its enough too bother me. I have had the car for 2 1/2 years and it has never done this. I can turn the heater on and the temperature will go back to normal. Whats the problem? I have a new radieator, its only about 5 months old, and I replaced the thermostat, radieator cap, and it has a new fan on it. I got plenty of fluids but the damn thing just keeps heating up. Any ideas on what it could be?
 
Possibly water pump, Might be loose or cracked hose letting air bubbles in, might be a slightly blown headgasket. I'd replace the water pump first if the hoses are still in great condition and tightened down properly. Chris
