Sagaris fluid temperatures

[JonRB]

Hi folks

Can anyone tell me what the normal operating temperatures and pressures are for the Sag please?

I've only recently got mine and it is just so different to the Corrado and the Chimaera that I need some pointers. For example, if I saw 95 degC water pressure on the Chimaera then I'd be pulling over and switching off in anticipation of an overheat but the Sag seems fine with it.
Likewise the Corrado will happily see 140 degC oil temperature (admittedly on track) but the most I've got out of the Sag so far is 85 degC (road driving only).

So as you can see, I'm a bit all at sea at the moment and could do with some data to calibrate my brain to the car.

Hi

Oil pressure about 48PSI under load and 7-16PSI at idle - but beware - there are duff senders out there that don't read over 30PSI. Running the aircon when the car is ticking over will pull the oil pressure down so make sure your tickover is set at about 900 rpm

Water temp should be 70-80 ish but up to 90's in traffic

Oil temp - don't go over 2500 revs until its over 50 degrees - but can go up to 70 in traffic

If anything is way out of tolerance your dash will scream at you with an error code - just like it does for about 1 sec when you start up and the oil pressure is getting up - or it's incredibly cold

Fuel readings are a hoot - when it gets down to about 20 litres and you drive past a petrol station - look again and it will say 6! On Sunday my guage went from 22 litres to 9 in two miles - and then back up a bit - both were out!

Thanks Jasper.

I knew about the oil temperature, although Racing Green advise no more than 2500 rpm until 60 degC not 50

As for the rest, I'll take that on board.

Cheers

Yes, Racing Green and Hexham recommend not above 2500rpm until 60 degrees oil temp...this can be a real struggle in the cold weather - can take me a good 30 mins or longer, car sits about 45 degrees on dual carriageway. Gets to above 60 once in town/slow traffic.

Quickly drops again once back on fast roads - dliemma - do you drop revs until you reach 60 degrees again????!
