Cooling System

The water temp will go up when you shut the engine off because there is no WATER circulation..you could have 20 fans on the rad and it will not cool the water in the block.

Hint....All cars do what yours is doing. It does no harm,
Shut your daily driver off after a drive.
Go back in 5 minutes, turn the ignition on and look at your temp guage.

Not always true. If you have an electric water pump, you can shut the car off and keep the water pump going which will circulate coolant through the block.
