ssaunders 199 Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 hi all, more issues with the Rado turbo! i should know VR ownership is never simple!as in title, cruising along engine temp gauge drops to 75-80, sat in traffic they go through the roof 120 plus. the fan works its currently set to come on at 95 and off at 90 but doesnt cool enough. changed blue temp sensor and the yellow one for dashboard gauge, still the same. the car has aftermarket radiator and pacet sucking fan (which is a good make?) not sure what model as i need to remove it to see part number but its the largest that will fit, i have tried to measure and its about 13"s. on the website their 13 inch fans are on par with spall and kenlowe for cfm.could it be stat related? my old golf had stat issues, it didnt get warm and ran rich till it was changed (stuck open i assume?) could this be the opposite?all help and suggestions gratefully received.thanks for looking.steve Link to post Share on other sites
Jimjon 28 Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 It is oil temp or water? I've had oil temp shooting up and down and it was the wire that leads to the sensor on top on the oil filter housing, where it joins the sensor it corrodes away, had it on two VR engines now.
