Is 200 degrees hot for coolant?
Is 200 degrees hot for coolant?
Most engines are designed to run with coolant temperatures between 160 degrees and 200 degrees. If temperatures get too hot the coolant can start to boil reducing its ability to cool the engine and possibly causing damage to the engine and its components.
Is the coolant temp the same as 0 to the sender?
If you’re coolant temperature is 125 degrees, it’s the same as 0 to the sender, and it’s switched off. If your coolant temperature is 210 degrees, it’s the same as seeing 185 degrees, and it’s switched on.
What’s the normal coolant temp in my house?
Coolant level is still fine, but my normal “high” coolant temperature is now 195 to 200 degrees. If I really push it, I can get it as high as 207. Normal operating temperature used to be in the 210 to 220 degree range. I researched the thermostat part numbers, and as far as I can tell, the part number has changed.
What does it mean when coolant doesn’t reach operating temperature?
To verify the actual engine temperature, check if the top hose to the radiator is hot after a drive. Thermostats normally open at around 80-90°C and the hose will only get hot once the thermostat has opened. The fact that the coolant temp is lower than the thermostat set point indicates that the thermostat isn’t doing what it’s supposed to do.
What should the coolant temp be on my daughter’s car?
My daughter has a 2015 1.6T and it runs at 105C (221F) MY CTD runs at 84C (183F). It is still fairly hot here but the outside temperature does not seem to affect engine temperature much. Maybe the thermostat is at the cooler end of the normal tolerance allowed in manufacture.
If you’re coolant temperature is 125 degrees, it’s the same as 0 to the sender, and it’s switched off. If your coolant temperature is 210 degrees, it’s the same as seeing 185 degrees, and it’s switched on.
What should the coolant temperature of my car be?
This will likely be somewhere in the 160 to 190 degree range based on what your drive. Another thing to consider when watching your engine coolant temperature is what the engine cooling fans are set to.
Why does my coolant go from 180 to 210?
Problem continues except now it goes from 180 swings up to 210, then back below 180, then to 180 and repeates this all the time regardless of how long I drive. Anyone have any other ideas? New engine, new radiator, new theromstat, new temp sender…what could it be? Have you bled the air out of the system? That sounds like it might be the problem.
What should be the boiling point of radiator coolant?
Air bubbles do not cool an engine, so the engine temperature will immediately skyrocket. Your main concern should be to keep your engine below the boiling point of your coolant. If your radiator cap is no good, it will lower the boiling point of your coolant to 212 dgrees.
