All cars should be around 90 degree C. Anything past that may indicate some
problem... 100 is okay but past that must be fixed.

hi
just had a new fan switch on mine so - think the fan comes on at 102C, then
back off at 98C, shouldn't get much hotter than that obviously - my '88
230TE runs about 90 (its between 80 and 100 ;) ) except in heavy
traffic/hot day/long hills
OOOPS just reread - thought LPG should run cooler than petrol? mines on
petrol...
anyway, there you go
cheers!

LPG runs hotter than petrol AFAIK.

hmm...can you tell me: does the fan blowing air to radiator or sucking fresh
air from outside throw the radiator?:)
i always thought that it is blowing but mine is sucking...;)

hmmm no sorry I've only seen it running once (fan) and now that the summer
is finished here (uk) I dont expect to see it spinning again for quite a
long time...
although, I would have assumed it sucks through the radiator , as the car
(and airflow) is going that direction anyway ?
cheers!

By the way, how does your motor go on LPG? - pro's/con's?
Did you convert it yourself?

wow good score, I haven't seen a conversion advertised for less than £1000
here (uk), even a do-it-yourself kit cost more than £5-600! I assume your
motor is fuel injected too?
Interesting!
Running continuously at 100C sounds a bit hotter than optimal though
cheers!
termostat opens at 87?C
so 90?C is normal
