Engine Temp? 110?
My 1994 Golf CL Diesel is running consistently at 110 C and I'm wondering if
this is normal? I've replaced all of the thermal switches (three) that are in the RAD and water Jacket to make sure the RAD Fans are coming on (They are) I'm just wondering if 110 C is way to high? What should it run at? Do I need to yank off the water pump and check that? |

Is that water temp or oil temp? 110C is a good oil temp, but a bit too
warm for water. nate HotRod wrote: > My 1994 Golf CL Diesel is running consistently at 110 C and I'm wondering if > this is normal?

Normal is around 90 deg. or the middle of the scale...

You may have a defective thermostat, a head gasket problem or a radiator that is starting to clog up. My guesses are in what I believe to the the most likely first. -- Joseph Meehan Dia duit |

it's a 94 Golf CL so I don't believe that it has an oil temp gauge just a
water gauge. I've been checking the oil and rad but haven't noticed anything in either that would indicate a head gasket problem. And I've just replaced all of the RAD sensors so they are accurate. IDEAS? |

Does your coolant temperature gauge actually have numbers on it (rather than just high and low indicators) or are you reading it from the MAF? The only temperature I can read on my '87 GTi is from the MAF, and that is the oil temperature, not the coolant temperature. My coolant temperature gauge is not calibrated in degrees. -- ================================================== ===== A very modest collection of Honda tech info can be found at: http://www.geocities.com/ng_randolph |

The coolant temp is measured with the sensor (not the blue one) in the upper
radiator flange.

When I first got the car the temp gauges and RAD fan weren't working, I
replaced all three temp sensors (1 in the RAD, 2 in the water jacket by the engine) After replacing all of this I got the temp gauge and fans working however it still seems to be to hot. I'm going to try and pull the thermostat and see if that works. The temp I'm getting is from the dash gauge, remember this is a Canadian Turbo Diesel. |
