Thread: nanocom temp readings

Coolant levels okay? Not using water? The independent temp check is a good plan, sounds as if the radiator is not doing its job but unusual to suddenly happen, generally its a steady decline, unless the nano has had a hissy check ALL the hoses for softness but apart from that next is the radiator.

When did you last have the radiator serviced and coolant replaced?

It's likely to be a blocked core on the Rad... (Or mud between rad and condenser)

I'd tend to agree with Tombie. My beastie sat on 94 - 98 in normal operations until I replaced my radiator, coolant etc in preparation for the circle trip. Now sits on 88 - 89 and only up to 94 max so far after being worked reasonably hard, apart from 1 x 97 whlst towing hard which activated my alarm and froze the Evo - all readings like you taken from my Nanocom

Thanks guys
Coolant level good, rad flushed and new oat coolant approx 12 months ago and clean between rad and condensor. Should have mentioned only 130,000 km on clock so i would have thought rad would still be good. I also thought it was strange to suddenly just happen.Hopefully check with other temp gauge will reveal more.

cheers Ecka

I wonder how different the V8's are. I have a scan guage and it says I run 96-98 when warmed up and goes up to 102 under load. I haven't had it on any big trips yet but it seems to run a bit hotter than your TD5's.

My Td5 was the same. Replaced the entire cooling system components and they all looked perfect. I even pulled apart the radiator and it was clean as a whistle, I think my issue was the thermostat so maybe change that first

X 2 - I reckon that was the difference with my upgrade

yep, thats about right Adam
everything has to be perfect on the V8's, but rarely are.
You can change the thermostat to a cooler one which is a great idea, The underbonnet temps are hot enough to melt the plastic split conduit I run my spark plug leads in--
