Andy32 Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 Hi just a quick question,my ep82 turbo seems to run on high revs for quite a while when cold. Im a mechanic so know that normally engine coolant sensor would normally tell ecu when to reduce rpm and in all fairness it does drop down to around 800rpm but just seems to take quite a while compared to other cars ive had. Have only had the car a few months.Is this the norm or is it something i should look into? Quote
5e colin Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 its normal mate around 1800rpm when cold and slowly lowers rpm as the engine warms up nothing to worry abouth Quote
Andy32 Posted November 29, 2014 Author Posted November 29, 2014 Cool nice one,just seems to take quite a while to get up to temp and down to normal tick over.Can move onto sorting the suspension out next!!! Quote
Andy32 Posted November 29, 2014 Author Posted November 29, 2014 a minimum of 5 mins or till temp hits at least a quarter of the way up bud. Quote
daniel_g Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 You got a low temp thermostat in it ? That does seem quite long. Quote
Andy32 Posted November 29, 2014 Author Posted November 29, 2014 not sure,have only had the car on the road for the last week,it had been parked up for 18 months prior to me buying it! Quote
5e colin Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 a minimum of 5 mins or till temp hits at least a quarter of the way up bud. that sounds ok ish timing whise to me on a stone cold engine check if your thermostat aint stuck open !!! Quote
Andy32 Posted December 2, 2014 Author Posted December 2, 2014 on bit of a tangent guys but have wat looks like a solenoid or valve on the end of the inlet manifold(opposite end to the throttle) that seems to be clicking quite loudly,when i unplug it the clicking stops but nothing seems to happen to the engine!is this normal?

Andy32 Posted December 2, 2014 Author Posted December 2, 2014 should it be clicking continuously? that surprises me to be honest most of the control valves ive dealt with through work make a lot of difference when unplugged! Quote
Andy32 Posted April 9, 2015 Author Posted April 9, 2015 Just to update and maybe help someone in the future with similar issue.turned out to be the thermostat after!!also tried a euro parts item and the sealing ring was not thick enough so kept leaking.so just check against the old unit if you get one.Andrew Quote
