VippiN Member 94 Member For: 16y 3m 9d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide, Australia Posted 19/11/14 10:19 AM Share Posted 19/11/14 10:19 AM Hi guys, have a bit of a weird problem. Picture this:Going for a normal drive, mostly off boost. Some on boost. Get to destination. Turn off car. Get back in car after few minutes turn on car - Temp has gone from where it sits normally at 1/4 to bit over 1/2 way. Turn car on, fans kick in, heat drops back down.This is what's been happening last few weeks. After a hard boost session, temp actually hit 3/4 when going back to the car. Letting it idle for a few minutes before turning car off has little to no effect.Thoughts? Ideas?

Other than that the temp sensor might be a little dicky.? But sounds fairly normal Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89607-heat-soak-after-engine-off/#findComment-1513012 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most cars temperature's will rise when they're switched off, not just turbo cars. More so with our climate.

These are different days (so possibly different humidity) but same temperature.Stopping the car added about 10° over 5 minutes. Starting up and sitting for a minute with fans on made it spike, driving slowly again around the front yard didn't help either.Intake temps drop after only 10-15 seconds but it takes a while to get rid of the heat by the looks.

You can see the heat soak & the way the rad/cooler drop or raise temp in soak conditions really well. Next time I get a chance I'll post a few graphs Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89607-heat-soak-after-engine-off/#findComment-1519442 Share on other sites More sharing options...
