My car was parked up for about 2 months, so i decided to give it a run....after driving for about 8km, i saw the temp gauge went up to 3/4......i recently changed the water pump an the gauge temp sensor so i know thats not the problem....i took out the thermostat an drove the car and the same thing happened....the gauge does not go higher than 3/4....i also have my fan on all the time.....my engine is a d15 non vtec..
This only happens when i drive for more than 8km...
Can this be a radiator problem?....
Someone help me plzz...btw, am not losing any coolant...

if you changed the sending unit for the temp gauge, the wrong one could cause bad readings on the dash. You may not actually have a problem, but just the wrong/a bad sending unit.

did you open the hood and put your head in under there? usually it will be very obvious when a car is running hotter than normal. you may just have air in the system giving a false temp reading if you did not bleed it after doing the waterpump, or you could have clogs in the cooling system (radiator or heater core).
