Engine Temp

[Impey]

What does a 2.0L engine temp get up to??

 

[clio_luke]

um, dont know the temp but when up to temp its just above the half way mark on the gauge. hope it helps mate.

Thought that was just the water temp? I thought it meant engine was at full temp but it's not

 

[clio_luke]

oh sorry, misread that completely. yes, water temp is just over half way. no idea on engine temp tho. why are you wanting to know that impey? doing a bit of painting?

 

[chris182cup]

I would say very very hot

 

[Impey]

ummm

What are you wanting to know mate?

What water temperature an RS runs at
What max water temperature an RS runs at when fan cuts in
What oil temperature an RS runs at when 'warm'
What max oil temp is safe

 

[Impey]

just how warm an engine gets when run

 

[Russ_16v]

Lol what though water or oil?

And do you mean when being driven or when stationary? As the temp will rise when stopped

 

[Silent_Scone]

on a normal run water is about 85-90 iirc if you're going by the gauge

 

[Mark One]

what part of the engine? The exhuast gas? The water temperature? the oil temperature? the list goes on.

I wouldn't worry about it dude. If it gets to the halfway on the gauge and then stays there, it's happy days.

coolant sensor will see about 95 degrees if you leave the car idling on a warm day.

Lol, did you get the fan to kick in yet?

 

[Si]

i haven't tried yet mate tbh. I'm going to leave it for a minute after my drive home from work tomorrow to see if it kicks in
