thanks craigowl, mine sounds extremely similar :) i thought that might be the case pianowire, nice1

thanks 4 the posts people :) ive been watching the coolant gauge temp and the oil temp during runs where she is warming up and tho the coolant gauge seems low the oil temp warms nicely......can any1 who's coolant gauge reads correct tell me what its at when oil temp gets to about 80? short drives normally end with oil temp round the 70-80ish mark and when shut down the fan does not kick in - however, on longer drives the fans kick in after shutdown.....i believe this sounds right.....yes? lol im gona try and get her on an ECU hook up to get the ECU coolant temp reading but all help is appreciated!! pianowire....what your 'other way'? :)

Hi 1st post - picked up my new baby [VR6] on saturday :) would appreciate some advice lol I have a similar thing with my collant temp showing low, motorway or round town it rarely gets above 70 oil temp warms up fine, with several miles its up to 60+ mark and then continues till it settles round the late 90's....motorway it wondered round 96-104ish the fan seems to kick it fine too and will run once shut down after long journey i heard sumink about checking the 2 cooling pipes as might indicate if the stat is stuck open [think both pipes get hot if it is]....im pretty sure just the top gets warm but need to check can anyone shed any light? peas shout :)
