Coolant temperature

Temperature on 172 not moving above 81, what is normal running temperature?

someone will be along to confirm shortly. I’m sure it’s 90 degrees - I’d assume someone’s fitted a cool running thermostat?

90 ish. The gauges are a bit soggy so don’t move if it’s a bit either way because people freak out when the needle moves past horizontal. Mine seems to like about 95 when it’s plugged into the RS tuner for the live data.

If it’s low it could be a sticky thermostat or a cool running one (think they open at 75C)

Called Renault today and they list 75, 82 and 89 against my car !

Should i go for 89 ?

Waiting for advice from Renault !

89c is standard.

8200772985 is the part number.

Fan comes on at 100c and goes off at 96c.

If your doing track days - I think a cooler running one is helpful.
