Title: Fluctuation of temperature of a cooling liquid
Post by tve on Nov 1^st, 2008, 8:55am

Has spent measurement of temperature of a liquid by means of OBD diagnostics on 2.3л. Fluctuation of 99-93 degrees. It seems to me it is the big range. What your opinion.

6C does not seem a lot for the temperature of the coolant to vary.. It can also be checked via the on board Diagnostics on the dashboard although that is a Logarithm scale/read out......... 255 being cold and 0 being HOT ( Very HOT )

[]....it's not a huge fluctuation in temperature.....but it all depends on how your temperature guage is behaving.

If the fluctuation in engine temp is showing on the temp guage, then I would deffinately recommend a new thermostat for starters :)

The thermostat new. In Russia there was an electric thermostat (it is similar to the motor-reducer with the crane, in a salon heating system) accuracy 1-2 With.
