16V owners; Whats your running temp??
« on: 15 February 2008, 23:08 »
Think my valver is running a bit hot - it's had a coolant flush and thermostat recently by the way - as at idle the mfa reads 114/116 before the fan kicks in, after which it drops to around 110. Motorway reads about 98/100.

What do yours run at?

Cheers :)

100 usually all the time, even in traffic. Might be different in summer though!!

Same as Conker, I've seen 110 in traffic last summer but when the fan kicked in it dropped to 108. 100 is normal from what I've read.
