normal running temp's

[Rain]

anyone tell me what normal running temp for 8v is roughly....

[kniterider]

hmm not sure, my gauge reads higher than it actually is, i remember when me and GavG60 were sat in the LONG queue for draggin at santapod both his g60 and my 16v never went above 98 degrees on oil temp on the mfa??? sure the 8v will be same temps, when going for a long thrapp i think i can get my up to 108 ish dont think its ever got any hotter.... hope this helps rain.

running temp is about 102 at the moment, but i havent given it a real long drive yet that was 20 minutes running but was doing alot of work cause the clutch is fried so lots of slipping and high rev's. just have to keep an eye on it for now.

sounds ok to me rain, i wouldnt worry. wait till youve got the clutch done and see what it runs at under 'normal' driving conditions, but i dont think youve got owt to worry about mate.

[kniterider]

thanks knite/blue im just trying to get an idea its got loads of small problems from years of neglect like filters not replaced and breather filters replaced with what looks like sellotape and teabags 

when i got it from the scrappy it had receitpts for new exhaust and full service either there fake not sure why my mate would fake when its sold as scrap or some real bodger has been repairing it.

Mines a 16V but I get around 98 - 108 when fully warmed!

Hope that helps

i do a round trip of 70 miles each day in my H reg 8v. i have had the temp upto 114, and it regularly sees 108. depends if im running quick and if the weathers hot. if im just cruising 98 to 102 is about the usual.
