Hi! Bought my Montero in February from someone who apparently did little to no maintenance on this vehicle. Anyways, just recently I had the a/c compressor replaced with a new one and now it gets nice and cold. Well, now it sounds like the motor is running louder than it was which I looked around and that seems to be due to the fans running to compensate to keep the engine cool?

And I notice the temp guage goes up some too, more than normal but not to the limit. I've had the water pump replaced already. Is there anything I can do or have done to help keep that needle down as close to normal as possible? Other than not run the a/c of course.

Thanks!

Kelly
