300 tdi temps..

(1/1)

dreadnought110:
Just wondered where all your 300tdi's sit on your temp gauge when A normal running and B under load i.e towing ..Thanks.. :?

Porny:
Exactly half way.... never higher once warmed up.

Towing, doing 90mph on private roads, driving to work etc etc - always the same.

Where-as my parents Disco... stays at a quarter all the time except when towing heavy loads and then occasionally gets to half way.


Could always put a laser temp reader onto the top hose to get a temp measurement, or put a thermocouple in?? And do the same on yours to compare the two.

I have a proper temperature gauge fitted. 86 Degrees rising to 90degrees when climbing long hills.

Remember though. My gauge will shew a needle movement at those temperatures having a 270 degree dial. Yours won't even see a needle movement.

Sorted dumped the old 2.5 turbo gauge and fitted a brand new 300 tdi gauge and it sit's exactly half way even when tanking it!!! 8)  8)
