suprasurrey Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I didn`t have any problems at the weekend, but have always experienced temp gauge climbing to mid way round very quickly (five minutes from cold) and cooling down time really long. Checked coolant level several times and all is well. Is this normal or do we have a problem Houston?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Hi Si Do you mean the stock water temp gauge was higher than normal? That's unusual, mine never goes above normal unless the rad is about to boil over. I have an oil temp gauge with the sender in the sump, and I've noticed it getting a little hotter than usual during the recent heatwave but nothing to be concerned about. I do have an external oil cooler though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I noticed that with just the ignition on (but engine not) the water temp in mine rose higher than halfway but actually starting the engine dropped it back down to half again. Normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
