Yup I checked my coolant this morning and it is creamy white !
Dam

Head gasket blowned ??

Could be. Normally when it turns creamy its because of a blend of oil and water

So I thought I had the same issue. Did you check in the resivour by looking or with a flash light. The tank,plays havoc I find with the coolant appearance, look in with a flash light shining on the coolent to,see if it looks frothy. Then take a sample out.

Post pictures. Have you overheated the engine? Quite a few of us are running a lot of boost/ power and haven't experienced head gasket failure. If your head gasket is bad, it had to be heat related.

I also found out that when I shut the car off
The temps continues to rise.
For example when I park, my tempos at 89, I gouttierealco@gmail.com inside for like 10 mins and when I start the car back, temp is at 95

Most likely a bad EGR cooler. Just a WAG.

No disrespect meant here. I thought this too once. The float thing is reservoir is white and it threw me off. I agree with other poster. Go get a cheap turkey baster from Walmart and extract some coolant from reservoir and put in clear cup. To be fair, my car wasn't running at 100C though.

Here is an idea if you really want to maje sure. You can put ultraviolet dye into oil. Home Depot has UV bulbs for $4. You could see if dye is getting over to water side.

Does oil look like root beer float?

Probably the beige float that is throwing him off.

You're absolutely correct. I was just seeing the float, and my coolant is a clear light blue. Thanks!

Glad you found that so that I don't have to explain it anymore. On a different (but related thread), I explained this to OP.

We still don't know why he is running at 100°C. I vote thermostat (T/S) has broke and isn't allowing enough flow from radiator. On a different thread, a member showed a pic where his T/S mechanically broke and he was running hot too.

[335dM]

Okay!
Heads up!

Second biggest dealer in Montreal and same verdict!
100C is within standards and even beyond that

Coolant is fine, temperature are ok
No problems, no check engine nothing!

WTF ???
They are even charging me 90$ because no fault or problems were found !!!!
I'm on platinum extended warranty
