temperature

Recommended Posts

I've searched the forum and found people stating different temps but I was wondering roughly what they should be.

 

I have an unmodified 1.8 16v. After a long drive around town i've noticed my water temp go to between 90 - 100C and oil temp of between 114 - 118C. Is the oil temp a little high or is it about right?

Maybe sounds a little high but nothing to be mega worried about i don't think! You could always fit an oil cooler, that will sort out any worries you may have!

The KR engine water temp usually sits around 80C on the move then climbs to around 90C in traffic (idle) .The Rad fan should come on around 90C also.

Oil temp usually sits approx 10C more than the water temp.

OK thanks. Sounds like its running a little bit warm then. I will give it a full service on pay day and see if anything changes. If anyone has any other ideas on things to check for let me know. Cheers.
