What temp. should my engine be running at?

[D Turbo Lyle]

hi there people, just wanted a few opinions here thanks.... I was just wandering what temperature the 1.9 d turbos should be running at... while driving mine normally without thrashing it or booting it up it sits at about 80 then after a bit of foot for a while it goes up to 90 sometimes. ( halfway mark ) not so sure what it should be any info would be much apretiated.. thanks lyle!

Mine sits at 75, although turned turbo and fuel up last night and it sits at 80. While booting its 90

The norm temp is 83 iirc

[4WayDiablo]

Yeah should sit just above 80

What you describe sounds normal

sounds spot on.
sitting in traffic i occationsally shoot up above 90.
i tend to keep the engine between 80 and 90; manual fans help keep this temp

Try to avoid going over 90*c. That's HG failure territory.

errm... not necessarily.
Sitting over 100/110 is probably more the likely for HG issues if that.

Sitting at 90/95/99 isnt THAT bad, by which point the fans should kick in.

83 is normal... But in this weather with cold blower, its usually 90ish..

my old one sat at 70 went to 80-85 boosting, great engine!!

[Tom]

All mine have sat at 80 mostly but when i boot it, it moves upto 90 and sits there til i ease off.

[Jimbo]

Pretty much as everyone is saying bout 80 until you give it some shit then sits about 90

[Tom]

Its because idi makes so much heat. Hdi's can hold a steady temperature all day!

[pugtk]

haha could have been never passed any heed on it cause all my dw8s hovered around 70

haha could have been although it would move up to 80-90 at idle, once you were on the move she'd drop down, never passed any heed on it cause all my dw8s hovered around 70 along with most of the mates vans
