Subject:Engine overheating and no heat from front heater

Hi Volks

Last day I was using my Westy to go to work. Traffic jam is frequent ( I
have to cross bridge) on my way to work and I was experimenting some engine
overheating (Temp. gauge was reading a bit higher than 3/4 of the full span)
in spite the fact the outside temperature was around 45F.

Every thing was OK for the first miles. After the engine warm up period, I
was feeling the good heat coming from my front heater. Hovewer after a while
I noticed the heat coming from the front heater was cool and the
temperature gauge was reading high. The overheating and no heat from the
Front heater problem was happening when the engine was idling. As soon as
the engine is working at normal speed everything is OK.

Thank you for reading me. Any advice on what could be wrong?

Germain
