Hello
Which temperature is proper for 2.0TE engine with LPG?
Mine is near line above 80 degrees line.
Is this correct?

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
