Hey. i hve an 06 2.2 and i usually have my comp thing on the coolent temp and is usually around 88-90 (190-194 F) but the other day i went for a drive and on the highway it was around that but when i got in town it went to 95-100 ( 203-212 F). any ideas why it might be doing this? and is this bad for my engine? no lights went off or anything

 

Mine has gone up to 226 before while going 10mph up the steepest road I've ever been on..lol. I wouldn't worry about those temps.

 

Yea your alright. no worries.

 

yea, my 2.2 would go up to 212F when I got off the free way and started doing stop and go, but it wouldnt stay there for a long time.

 

The coolant will not overheat till 250~ish. my car ran at 230-240 for few days till we figured when we put the motor back in we kinked a line that flows coolant through the block. Those temps you see are normal.

 

i hit 172 one time lol my radiator got smashed by a tire that rolled at in front of me when i was 80!
