Engine temperature. - happypug - 02-10-2013
Hi all. Have posted a few words in the past. Can anyone advise re hdi running temperature. I have had a new radiator fitted( old one fecked) and now temp is running at 89 degrees constantly even with heater running. Previously ran at a constant 78degrees, could it be the thermostat that is not opening and closing properly anymore. Will this highish temp cause problems re head warping.
Your suggestions/cure would be appreciated.
Cheers.....not so happypug.

My car sits at about 80c I think that is normal for hdi from what I have read and seen,
Try thermostat see if that helps.

sounds like it needs bleeding

Are the heaters hot? Is the rad getting hot?

As others have said, check it's bled and if the rad gets hot fairly evenly. Failing that it sounds like a new stat, you can check yours in a cup of hot water, opens at 84 so should pop when you cover it in boiling water and close about a minute later.

89 seems high for a hdi
