Now I know this was already posted a while ago, so I thought I would start a new one. Well I was driving the other day on my deliveries and I was flipping through my display. Everything was looking good till I got to my coolant temp. The damn thing read 290 degrees F. I knew this could not be right because my car was running great. So I immediately pulled over and shut her off. After about five minutes of sitting there I started her back up and she read a perfect 185. So this got me to thinking what is the highest coolant temp you guys have ever had?

 

290? **** that's high. You better hope that was an error. I just can't imagine it messed up that bad.

I have never seen more than 218

 

i've seen about 221*F that's about it

 

the highest my temps been is 195

 

230 and the fans never came on. I unplugged the relay which caused them to come on. Now they are on all the time, so 183 is the highest i see now.

 

iv seen 228 in my 2.2,

happens when i idle with my AC off.

only seen that once tho.

 

Yeah I hope it was just a misread also

 

day: 178 - 180

Night: 174-176 (180 if im driving hard)

 

Yeah today all day and night it read 179-186 so I think it was just a misread. Still even if a misread it scared the **** out of me.

 

225.

those who are reading 170-180... that's pretty cold...

 

253 when my fan broke this past summer

i now have aftermarket fan i see avg of 187

 

220*F was the highest sitting in traffic on a 85*F day.

Normal opperating Temp. : 181*F Day, 176-180*F Night

 

i might do a how to for an always on fan mod.

 

I heard that was bad...

 

woudnt do anything performance wise, might shorten the life of ur fan.

 

just keep ya cooler? sweet...

 

220 was the most mine has got to. normaly its around 180 to 190.

 

u kno tht its easy to do in HPT right?

i have an 06 l61 so its not as easy as it is for u to just switch one setting and have ur fans always on

 

Yeah, during the Woodward Dream Cruise this year when I was cruising with the Balts, in bumper to bumper traffic, in like 90F degree weather I saw my coolant go up to like 220-223... My coolant levels weren't that low either. I just got a low coolant notification on my DIC like two days ago and I filled it up with some dexcool just yesterday.
