#1: Hi temp when parked up Author: Steveo760, Location: E YorkshirePosted: Tue Feb 21, 2012 12:47 am ---- Hay every 1. Drove to work this morning about a 38 miles and when I got here had a bit of time so sat in car for a bit. Temp when up from just below 90 to about 100 in 5 mins. Is this normal ? And is there and kits u can get to make them run cooler like u can get for the golf git 1.8 20vt's ? Thanks

when driving normally just sits between 80-90 when in traffic or standstill creeps up to 100 and fan kicks in and drops back to a steady 90 Last edited by DRAPER on Tue Feb 21, 2012 6:25 am; edited 1 time in total

there's NOTHING wrong with it & 90 deg C is bang on where it should be running.
If the car isnt moving that means there is no airflow through the radiator to cool it.
This means the engine temp will rise up till the cooling fan low speed is triggered which will then cool the radiator back down again & lower the engine temp.
That cycle will just repeat until you either start moving again or switch the engine off.

Or stick the aircon on if you have it & its working, low speed fan will run

You are one of the lucky few as most posters on here do have an issue. It is then spent arguing over sensor or thermostat and if it is the sensor is it a blue one, green one or brown one. if it is the blue one then which one.
Don't worry and don't fit a cooler it is spot on. Last edited by kandlbarrett on Wed Feb 22, 2012 3:54 pm; edited 1 time in total
