     Q: My '85 635 is running hotter than it has in past summers.  When 
     sitting, idling in traffic the temperature gauge will climb up to the 
     3/4 mark, not all the way to the red but higher than in previous 
     summers.  It also seems slow to cool down even when I get to traveling 
     freeway speeds.  It is hot here in Dallas and that may be part of the 
     reason, but even at 60+ mph it does not seem to cool down very 
     quickly.  I've always thought cooling problems were pretty simple 
     until now, but I am still having this problem after:

     You have done everything but the most obvious .... you need to replace 
     the viscous fan clutch.  This simple to do, and as I remember costs 
     about $70.
