Tekara 0 Posted December 22, 2004 Hi All Just got my car back from a rather long and expensive trip to the garage. Among the list of repairs the Timing chain is now sorted :) no more tin can sounds. Anyway just taken the car out for a blast and noticed its getting hotter than it used to. Now sits around 100 - 110'c water and 112'c oil. Used to be around 90-95'c water and 106'c oil. This anything to be concerned about ? Same driving conditions. Fan came on for about 5mins after i got home. Never done that before, used to maybe flick on for a few seconds. Possible airlock ? Also clutch was replaced, what a difference that makes effortless gear change. But is the peddle meant to feel really light ? had a nice weight too it before.

NgohOiNei 0 Posted December 22, 2004 Make sure to check all of your hoses, flanges, and temp sensors to make sure you aren't running a coolant leak...That was the culprit of my car running hot... As for the clutch- I'm not quite sure about that question- but I'm going to change my gear oil this weekend and let you all know how that went. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted December 23, 2004 All sounds perfectly normal to me. Apart from the 100-110'c water temp... If it's really that hot it'd be blowing out the top somewhere, not good to sustain those temps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
