Peeps,

 

Ive got a very odd problem with my cooling system. It APPEARS to be too efficient. I think i'm right in that the quoted number by nissan for the running temp of the engine is mid 80's degrees C. Now at motorway cruising speed (70 - 75 mph), the car is only getting up to 70c, and the oil temp is only getting to 80c. These reading are being taken from Defi gauges with the appropriate aftermarket sensors, so at the moment ive got no reason the disbeleive the gauges

 

Now the problem with this is that, being a fooking cold time of year, the heater barely gets luke warm, so im freezing my ass off inside the car.

 

the other concern i have is that the oil isnt getting to proper working temperature which may be causing damage to the engine.

 

Any one got any ideas on:

 

a) what is causing this

 

and

 

b) how to remidy it

 

Cheers

 

Nick

woohooo another prob solved :)
