Banana Man 0 Posted February 13, 2003 Thats normal I think the second fan speed comes in at 104degs so it shouldn't really get much higher than that unless your really ragging it :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The other day when it was humid and a bit of a storm it went up to 116 in traffic? is this too high and if so why and how do i sort it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted September 2, 2005 Critical_Mass, nah, that's not too bad... If you're worried about the temps, stick in a Mocal 19row oil cooler... That'll keep your temps down... 8) Have a word with G-Man, he does the kits for a good price... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Critical_Mass 10 Posted September 2, 2005 lol def something not right if its running at 140C at 100mph. how much would you be expected to pay for one of the oil coolers? it'd be worth it, supercharger would work better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted September 2, 2005 lol def something not right if its running at 140C at 100mph. how much would you be expected to pay for one of the oil coolers? it'd be worth it, supercharger would work better. I was told by GTI Engineering years ago that dyno rig tested golf gti engines produced maximum power output with the oil regulated to 107 deg C, that was on Mobil 1 I think (whatever spec it was circa 1990). I'd imagine either side of that figure the power would tail off ever so slightly. David. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
