Hi Tev,

Stu sells 82 degree thermostats on ebay so i guess thats about right?
He says that standard is 88 degrees too.

Easy fella hows things? ive just taken my 82 degrees thermostat out cause ive read mixed reports bout them, ive gone back 2 standard, least the fans r cuttin in lol

 

All is good ta.
Did a couple of hours under the saph today until it got too windy and cold.
As you say, at least the fans are cutting in

Mart.

 

82 degrees stats were designed for the rs500 due to the overheating during testing - primarily because of the large intercooler. The fans are switched in the rad sensor though???

 

yer in know fella its the sensor at the bottom of the rad, its a bit strange the fans cuttin in at 82 c though

 

my fans kick in at 91 k reg 4*4 sapphire

also got a over ride via the aircon switch to keep them on

Not an alloy rad is it? They can have problems with early cut in temps

 

a bit early, mine's are about 90 degrees

 

Yep its any ally Rad i think this is the problem as i cant remember it being like this on a standard rad
