As today was about 38 degrees I noticed my temp was sitting abit higher than usual (almost on the half way point) and the car didn’t seem to be running like it usually does just wondering if this is normal or if there is still something wrong. And also if I have stopped to fuel up for example when I go to start the car again the temp is much higher then when it was running (abit further than half way) again is this normal or am I looking at more issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it is started and the water pump is spinning again, it'll come back down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fg have the temp need sitting one mark below the half way mark. anyone else with a BA care to comment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a BF before and it would sit on 1/4 all day every day then the silly FG sits on halfway. Whyforddothis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These ain't 1980's commo's with a fan bolted to the water pump. Plus we choose to mod the hell out of them so of course there's gonna be some what higher temps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
