Realgauge and OBDII - am I overheating?
#21
It appears that the cooling fans do not go on high until the engine temperature go to 105c/221f so I would think your temperature of 93c/199f is below the range when the fans are to go on high.
I have just fitted the Realgauge and have just received my car back (with new radiator, intercooler, and other things), and I wonder whether it is running too hot. This is the position.
No overheat light or alarm, by the way. So do I have a problem, or is all this ok?
- realgauge reads between 2/3 and 3/4 when the running temperature has been reached.
- that equates to OBDII readings between 93 and 95 degrees C
- under normal driving the temperature lies between 93 and 94 degrees C
- in stationary traffic yesterday the temperature rose to 101, and sat there. When moving again the temperature started to fall again to the more usual 94 or so, taking perhaps a minute to get back there.
