iR6

Thats a good point about the cold map :shock: could always do with it using more fuel then it already does!! .... think i'll have a good look around that housing assm, are they a pain to drain then bleed? Thanks for your help btw :D

Yes i have read through the 'cooling guide' and had a little search, which brought me to the conclusion something is not quite right. But seeing as your having similar issues, makes me think all is not too bad. Wonder what figures others are getting with the current weather? A mate of mine had a vr6 a few years back and i remember his oil temp always going over 110. Not too worried about the coolant temp, but with the oil not getting much above 70 thats not nearly operating temp! Think i'll check over the sensors to see what state they are in, am i right in thinking the oil sensor is in the top of the filter housing?

Hi everyone, new to this forum, and Corrado ownership and enjoying it so far :) One little problem that i've found with my vr6 (didnt take long did it?!) is that both the water temp gauge and mfa oil temp reading are, after doing a search on here, i belive too low. Now i've only driven the car since outside tempratures have struggled to get above freezing but even so they do seem to be functioning incorrectly. The oil temp on a run only reaches 66-68 and sitting in traffic gets to 72. The coolent gauge barely even moves, i thought it was not even working at first, but after sitting in traffic for ten mins the needle slowly managed to creep up to the first line, then once i started moving it went down to, well, nothing again! So could anyone point me in the right direction as i really dont think its down to the cold weather alone :)
