kirky1 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Hi since having another engine fitted in my glanza and a few other bits done the red light on my greddy water temp gauge is coming on and the fan isnt kicking in till about 95-96 degrees then it only cools down to about 89-90 and starts rising again is this normal? the red light never used to come on when i first got the car and the standard temp gauge next to the clocks never goes past half way, could it be the greddy gauge is not working properly or the thermostat?

DevonGT Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Don't know about your gauge, but everything else seems about right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WallaceGlanza Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Sounds normal. The standard temp gauge is crap, by the time it shows the car as overheating it will be majorly overheated! The stock temp gauge also see's the hot side of the engine - pre radiator, so it depends where your greddy gauge is plumbed as to how it compares. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

H_D Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 (edited) The type of thermostat you have will determine when the fan comes on.I think the standard thermostat is supposed to trigger at 82deg and then you get the aftermarket ones which trigger at lower temps, Edited October 24, 2012 by H_D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
