Thread: D4 3.0L TDV6 Towing Temps Update

EGT temps vary because dual turbo. One bank doesn’t work hard below a certain load and RPM.

Hey Gav. Just did 1200 kms to Newman. Temps all look similar to what I saw today

Finally got my act together and sorted the GAP Tool instrument readings I wanted and a couple of pleasant surprises with towing temps pulling the 3.5T brick - usually at 85 - 95 with ambient under 30C.
EGT Bank 1 sensor 1 - usually sat at around 130 - 150C, but with one rise to 450C up a big for WA hill.
EGT Bank 2 sensor 1 - sat around 450-500 - a max of about 550C
Coolant and Transmission temp were about the same generally between 90 - 94C with a max of 105C at one point
Engine oil sump temp got up to 125C and volts started at 14.4 and slowly dropped to 13.8.

I was surprised at the EGT temp differences - can think of a couple of explanations but would like to hear from the wise.

As an aside, my binnacle temp gauge has just decided to not rise about about 1/4 of the way up to normal - defective sensor?

At what speed where you traveling at.
