running hot!

Recommended Posts

dont know if its just cos its summer now but have recently noticed my car running a bit hot. Normal driving oil temp is 104 and after hard driving 118. The fans and thermostats cut in and it does cool down a bit but never gets below 100 im a bit concerned that these are a little high. Anyone else think the same?

I've got to agree with Millerman. I recently had the radiator and thermos changed on my VR so all should be working fine and mine is the same. 90 on a steady drive and 100 stuck in traffic..... and the fan set on hot feels like it'll melt your face off!

Sounds about right for a VR. Mine goes up to 110-112 on the mway. Aftermarket oil coolers are a popular and cheap mod for VRs and G60s.
