What is the normal running temp for a TT?

 

Thanks

Baz

mine runs at 75-85 celcius

Same here mate betweeen 80 and 85

75-85 here. Usually at the lower end, only seen it ride to mid 80's at high speed in summer.

Great, Thanks for the help

70-80 mine runs at, but thats with a KOYO rad

For the ecu the ideal enginetemp is between 81 and 90 C

everything colder/warmer and the ecu will make adjustments to timing and/or fuel assuming the engine still needs to warm up (aka choke) or cool down.. meaning: less power.

 

anything below 60C and the ecu will cut down the boost as well (safetyboost)

That seems pretty high, I rarely see mine get to those temps ever, and I have stock cooling. Does that also therefore mean that improving the cooling system, and fitting a Koyo would reduce performance :confused:

I have stock coolin and the temp very rarly goes over about 81

i cant even get mine to hit 80 degrees.

>> and fitting a Koyo would reduce performance

yes, possibly, but it also depends on where you have fit the sender.

or ...you might have a malfunctioning thermostat ?

since the stock thermostat shouldn't be opening below 76C

 

the stock ECU sender is directly where the hot coolant leaves the engine and my experience is that most Zeds run between 82-87 C (according to a conzult, which displays the temp as measured by the ECU).

During the summer, with the aircon on, those temps get around 90-95 very easily (especially on auto's, which run slightly hotter)

 

if you can hear the electric aux. fan running and you have the ac on, the temp is at least 95C.

if the aux. fan is on and you haven't got the ac on, the engine is cooking (>105C) and you should let it cool down as soon as possible.

 

for those that don't have/want aftermarket temp gauges: it's a good idea to make a small warning light on the dashboard directly connected to the power of the aux fan...so at least you are warmed when the engine starts overheating.

very appropriate typo ;)

:D

i thought normal running temp is from about 60 degrees as thats when the heater blowers come on properly.

mine didnt even go above 45 today, although its the first time ive managed to get it working as the last guy gave up half way through fitting. Im thinking the sender wire isnt connected properly somewhere or has a dodgy join in it...

ok

aftermarket gauges can react very slowly to temperature changes

I have greddy informeter and my temp climbs to 81 degrees and the aftermarket gauge is still at 75 but slowly gets it right.

as for operating temp I have never seen mine go above 83 but mainly stays at 81
