Water Temp Fluctuating
Location: vancouver, bc
Outside temp: 22 C - 32 C
Symptoms: I was driving the car on the weekend and it's pretty hot outside. I realized the water temp goes as high as 95-98 (just a bit under 100 C mark)
But once i open it up on the highway, the temp goes back own to 85 or below (just a bit over 80C).
I wonder if this is a problem? I do'nt wanna make a special trip to my dealer yet.

No this is normal. Under slower driving the car will run a little warmer. Once you "open" it up some oon the highway, more air flows over the radiator of the car thus lowering the engine water temp. Even when I drive in Death Valley here, it is much hotter and I experiance the same thing. Rememebr lower speed, higher temps higher speed lower temps, so go fast and keep cool

Not trying to jack this thread...but how come I noticed the oil temp keeps flashing during the first 10 minutes of driving? Does this mean the oil is still cold?

MNL_ICE love your car. I could only wish someday mine can grow up to be 1/2 like yours. There is so many cool cars here and great mods so many choices to make. But guess have to settle for what I got for now. Someday will post pic of mine, after all it just turned 1 year old. Just wanted to say very cool car and great mods.
