skinnyman9000 0 Posted August 23, 2010 Just had a nice lil 100mile round trip to brum and back, sat on the a38 at 75-80 the whole trip. Just got back and my mfa reckons the water is above 110 and the oil is at 128! Now when I pulled up on the drive and got out the fan wasn't even on (it definitely works), the bonnet was cool to the touch, and even the water pipes weren't red hot. Is it possible the mfa is broken and simply lying? When driving at these speeds in this weather I don't see how these temperatures can be reached.

skinnyman9000 0 Posted August 24, 2010 Just driven to solihul, there now. Reckons water is 100 and oil at 126. Got out the car, bonnet cool again, no fan. 2-3mins later the fan kicks in?!?! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Purgatori 1 Posted August 24, 2010 My MFA doesn't work either, but I mean like, really doesn't work. It won't switch off from the time. I think it's the switch... Sorry that wasn't actually very much help was it? :| Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skinnyman9000 0 Posted August 24, 2010 Lol, not massively but at least this thread has got another reply now. Same again. Just got home, reckons the oil is now 132 and water over 110. No fan until a few minutes after I stopped the engine. Thermostat maybe? Tbh a small part of me hopes the engine blows up and forces me into a more sensible car that actually manage journeys over 5miles without failing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poll250 0 Posted August 24, 2010 Have you checked all the engine earths? My oil shot up to an indicated 135 when the starter earth became disconnected. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
