LittleBlue88 Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 Hi all Im in the process of fitting an aftermarket temp gauge into my V8 series 3,since ive only ever used the original temp gauge,i dont know what temp is safe for normal running Does anyone know? The gauge reads from 38c to about 110c. The engine is standard,with a standard series petrol radiator. Cheers Quote
western Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 the thermostat temp should be stamped on it & that will tell you the normal opening/operationg temp of the engine. Quote
FridgeFreezer Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 Mine usually bounces round the stat temp, with an 88 deg stat it would go from 82-90deg ish (bearing in mind the inaccuracy of most temp gauges). Quote
