Lurch Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Hello, Can someone tell me what a normal water temperature would be, normal driving and abusive driving in degrees centigrade?? I have a feeling mine is a bit high.. it has read 135 at one point. Normal driving is 100ish. The standard temperature guage looks normal. Its a tt nearly bpu.

Tricky-Ricky Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 That does seem rather high, using a thermocouple in the top rad hose i get anything from 89 to 105C, average around 96-98C Where is your sensor positioned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 to be honest i dont know as it was on the car when I bought it. (Will have a look when it stops snowing) They are old gauges so maybe there a bit out? It's got an alloy radiator and front mount intercooler too, which I would think would keep the temp right down??

Tricky-Ricky Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Yeah! could be, there is also the possibility that the intercooler is obscuring the rad too much, you could also not have a large enough opening in your bumper, mind you if its in these temps, i would first suspect the gauges.

Terminator Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 If the Toyota gauge is sitting in the middle when you get the high temp reading I would suspect the gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 Its a little above middle but no where near red. Its has spat its coolant on the floor after a hard drive once?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
