black cat Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 just been down to devon in saxo 3 n half hour run. 85 ish to 90 it runs very close to top on temp gauge. its always run warm from new, but never this hot. If i back off to 75 ish it goes back to normal. Do i need to fix someting or is it just old coolant. 93,000 miles on 99 't' VTR. cheers tt steve.

DamanC Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 shouldnt ever really run that hot. My vts never went above the 3/4 mark and in transit sat just above the halfway mark. has it had a new rad? 93k is alot for a saxo rad and if its the original its probably hanging on.

black cat Posted August 28, 2005 Author Share Posted August 28, 2005 its around the 3/4 mark doin 75 ish, its only when its reving around 4200 rpm for a long period that its hot, How much can i expect to pay for a new rad??

DamanC Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 bit of a dredge, but incase you havent done this. I got one at the best price from eurocarparts for around £80-110. I cannot remeber the exact price, but it was the best price around. You can fit these yourself even if your like me and have little knowledge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
