temps

Right, So i did Worthersee and the ring not so long back, (big thread/pics coming soon im just working through photos etc in my spare time) And when on the ring i was getting peak temps of around 130 Degrees, which is outrageously hot. My RS6 would keep its oil around 100-105 consistantly, my...

Folks There are various threads around just now that ask about coolant temps and what should be expected. I have a very personal interest in this subject, so thought it may help if we had a thread where people could ask general questions without being tied to a specific model and risking a...

when i drive my c43 and car gets proper work temperature between 80-90 degrees Celsius on coolant after a long drive, this is the correct work temp not to worry about. i have added 3x extra VDO gauges to my console where i previously had the a$$tray, like in the 16V Cosworth car now showing me...

My 2007 has now decided that it doesn't like starting sometimes. But return to the car later in the day and it will probably start immediately! On each occasion it has been quite cold and it will be the first start of the day. Not dead - all electrics whir and all that, but no turnover...

Hi Guys, A friend of mine is looking at buying a C220 and has recently test drove one he likes. However, he was concerned about oil/coolant temps? Does anyone have a rough idea of what he should expect? I suggested around 80 degrees for coolant and maybe 90-100 for the oil? Any...

Hi, I have not had much chance to take the GTS out, still have only 700 miles on the clock. Noticed after a slightly spirited 10 min drive. Keeping revs under 4.5k and no more than 2/3 throttle that oil was at 105C and water around 96C. Speeds 30 to 50 just giving it some beans from the...

Now the weather's warmed up a little bit I see that my C270 CDI is using a lot less fuel. Amazing difference: up to 33% better off when the temp's up past 12 degees than when we are experiencing zero and sub-zero. With Gadaffi's civil war (supposedly) pushing up oil prices, the warmer...
