Wompa 0 Posted June 23, 2011 Hi! I have some cooling issues with my VR6. The water temp i about 95-100 celcius if I dont have my slimlines one and the oil is 112celcius. I dont really now whats wrong because I have change the water pump, radiator, headgasket and flushed the whole system... Can it be a bad quality radiator that brings the temp up so high? But if I start my slimlines the watertemp on highway speed goes down to 80c but the oil is still on 108-116 celcius... I cant figure out why in hell its so damn high! Any ideas?

Critical_Mass 10 Posted June 23, 2011 When is it at 95-100? Idling, after a spirited run or just general use? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wompa 0 Posted June 23, 2011 95-100 if its about 12-15c outside and on the motorway... In town maybe more but i run my slimlines then... Can gather some information on different situations if you want? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wompa 0 Posted June 23, 2011 HAha! Hope really thats the problem! Easy to fix... I maybe think that its something inside the oil/water heat exchanger... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattwelcer 0 Posted July 2, 2011 Did you have any luck with your problem and find what's causing it to run hot? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wompa 0 Posted July 12, 2011 Dont know... I changed the termostat and flushed the radiator but its still keeping 104-110 Oiltemp and 90-100 in water temp. Celsius... But some times the water temp is 85-90... and then go up after a while and maybe go down again. But the oiltemp is quite funny, because if I turn off my headlights the temperatur goes down 6degress or so.. HAHA! Compaired my two radiators and the original one didnt have any resistans when I tried to blow true it... If you know what I mean about that? The new one had more resistans but I dont know if a radiator should have high flow or a low flow true it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
