aquascrotum Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Hi allJust a quick question - can any other standard 1300 EP91 drivers tell me how long it takes their car to go from a cold start to normal temperature?We bought a Sportif that overheated when it was thrashed - the radiator was in bits so we replaced it. With the new rad in we seems to have sorted the overheating problem but the thermostat gauge is showing the car going from stone cold to normal temp in a matter of maybe 2-3 minutes sitting at idle.So basically, is this normal??Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LukeSR Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Mine takes about 15-20 minutes to normal temp on idle.About 10 minutes of slow driving its to normal temp.. 2-3 minutes seems WAY to short to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 2-3 minutes seems quick, but Luke 15-20 minutes sounds a long time.Are there any air locks?Is the thermostat good?Are the temp sensors working properly? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LukeSR Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 On idle? Idling about 950-990rpm, doesn't seem long to me.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
