Higher engine coolant lsj

Hey guys,

I got my stock radiator replaced a couple of months ago. Now the coolant goes higher than what i used to have before (stock is 75 C, now sometimes goes up to 90 C). Iat2 temps are fine and i don't go wot when the temps are that high. Just wondering what it could be. Fans not plugged in by mechanic or most likely air in the cooling system?

Thanks,
Gab

turn the AC on high and go see if the fans are running. If not check if they are plugged in. If so, test voltage on the plug.

If the fans work bleed the system of air.

Your engine coolant and aftercooler system coolant are two seperate systems. The DIC displays only the temperature of the engine coolant.

90 c is in normal operating temps. 75 is too, but alittle low. You really don't have to worry until you get above 110 or so. Fans kick in full at about 105 or so. And the ic system is completely different. The motor cooling system is already self bled.

You have no issues
