VDUBBER 0 Posted October 30, 2005 Hey every one hope you can help me with a little problem. Just got a 2ltr 16v and the water temp is reading fine but oil temp is high about 102-104 when crusing and 110 in traffic. But also every so often when driving it is fine then it will splutter twice then carry on as normal. Could this be a timing problem or ht leads, spark plugs? It isn't using any water or oil. Thanks for any help Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walesy 0 Posted October 30, 2005 hi mate. (( delete ur other thread ! :wink: )) Sounds like a slight miss-fire, maybe you should give the car a bit of a service if you haven't in a while, replace the plugs and leads and do an oil change...see if that helps. The oil temps seem slightly high but nothing major, the 110 in traffic is unusuall though i think, if an oil filter change does no good maybe you could think about changing the oil cooler?.

VDUBBER 0 Posted October 31, 2005 Thats a big worry off my shoulders cheers for the help. Still a bit annoyed about the spluttering though i was told the car had just been surviced before i got it and the oil filter looks new. It has just had a new timming belt to could it berunning slightly out of time? Thanks again for any help Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
