lil b 0 Posted January 30, 2010 Hello, I have a few question I need answering RE: my 2L 8V corrado... 1 - On the on board computer, for example it will read between 90º and 100º - yet the temp gauge reads between 70º and 80º.... am I being completely blonde, are these for the same reading? or is one oil and one water? :cuckoo: 2 - On constant driving the temp gauge hovers 70-80.. is this correct? So what I'm trying to explain is in traffic it comes to 85+ then goes back down, is this correct?? 3 - the Digital gauge can go upto 102 in traffic sitting then hovers around 94.... is this correct?? If these are too high what can I do to correct the problem?? different strength/tolerance thermostat??? Again sorry I do not know the correct terminology and I am trying my best to sort my car out :D (full service soon :clap: ) Thankyou very muchly Becki xx :scratch: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
streetpreache47 0 Posted January 30, 2010 Mine also seems similar to this, so I will be interested in the answer. Your digital guage is oil (there should be a small oil can logo above the readout). Anthony Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brilliant thanks!! - takes a weight off my mind. Becki x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted January 30, 2010 The needle gauge is the water and the MFA is the oil. When dbug says watch the gauge to see if it hits 100.. i think he means the water gauge rather then the oil gauge. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
