Average Running Temps - S2

[GSJ]

Hi all,

I've got a 2001 S2 which on my daily drive the temp (reading on the stack) sits around the 94 degree mark - hasnt gone over 100 degree's and fan hasnt needed to kick in. Coolant is clean and level sits just above the min level (which i was advised is the optimum level).

Question is - should i be worried about HGF with these readouts??? Im a bit concerned about the running temp or is this pretty normal?

anybody else which simular experiences??

cheers

All is fine

Although I find that the 'motorway' running temperatures are a little high on this chart. Mine runs at 88-90C.

My standard 2000 S1 runs at 87 around town & 84 on motorway! Its always been like that even when i did have HGF ! The only signs i had was mayo in the coolant bottle & engine pinking & thats it...

yea mine runs 87 but when in heavy traffic it can go from 90-104 then fan kicks in to bring it down to 87-88 so no really trouble with your mate

Digi-gauge paranoia again - happens to us all

Temp sounds fine.

My totally standard S2 111S runs at 86 degrees everywhere.

Mine sits around 94 as well - has done for ever, pretty much! No probs with it.

87-89C normally on yota S2. Gets too 100C in major traffic holdups but the fan soon brings it down again.

My S2 K-Series (120bhp) sits at 85 99% of the time

My S2 111s used to run at either 86-87 until I have the pro alloy motorsport rad fitted - it now reads 80-81 everywhere!

[RobM77]

Does anyone know at what temperature the optimum oil viscosity and the optimum power are produced?

86-88 when moving

84/85 here.

Mine sits at 88-94 while moving. Although I do suspect I have the beginnings of HGF!

The funny thing about this thread is that if we all had an analogue guage on our cars, we'd prob struggle to notice the variation in temps from car to car!
