Hello all,
In the Netherlands last week the temps where below zero degrees celsius and I noticed a coolant temp drop when driving slow/low revs. Let me explain:
I have Realdash and Torque Pro as diagnistics/extra gauges app. I can read coolant temp with the apps and I noticed the following:
- Normal acceleration and normal driving (80 km/h roads), coolant temp: between 74 (when deaccelerating/waiting a few seconds for a roundabout) and 79 (when normal driving), with peaks of 82 degrees when accelerating.
- Slow accelerating and slower driving (about 50 to 60 km/h), coolant temp: between 68 and 73 degrees, peaks of 76 degrees when accelerating more firm.
- City driving (about 30 to 50 km/h) not higher then 63 degrees.
note: temps are in celcius
With the first scenario, the temp gauge climbs up to the middle and stays there. With the second scenario, the temp gauge climbs to the middle and drops 1 bar of the gauge when temp drops below 70 degrees. With the last scenario, the gauge climbs up to about 2/6 of the gauge.
All temps where read with Torque Pro/Realdash (they show the same temps).
I heard the multijet doesn't generate a lot of heat, so this might be normal behavior, but the petrol car of my wife (Hyundai I20 2015) has running coolant temps of 90 degrees celcius. Is it correct that the Multijet enigne's have a nominal temp of around 79/80 degrees celcius? When outside temp is higher then 5 degrees celcius, it reads 79 degrees celcius steady. I do not know yet what the behavior is in temps above 20 degrees celcius.
I hope you can inform me a bit about this behavior.
