disco_al Posted December 14, 2007 Author Share Posted December 14, 2007 best i can do at the moment (camera phone) it did manage to creep as far as the bottom of the scale on the gauge this morning, with a small amount of heat output.

spud murphy Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Mine was the same come the cold weather, and this was after a rad replacement due to collapsed fins. I too changed stats and hunted for air leaks but in the end I now remove the viscous fan in winter (no probs yet with overheating, when staionary after a couple of minutes the gauge falls back down to C at idle) and warms up quick with out it. I think the engine has a lot of spare capacity temp wise WHEN everything is in good order ie rad unblocked engine waterways clear etc Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotal Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Mine doesn't get very warm - I only have to drive 4 miles, on the way to work on a cold day it never really gets warm, the way back has a steep hill though (for the last mile) and that gets the temp up to normal position as soon as I start going up it.
