2.2 warm up time
« on: 08 April 2008, 08:05:16 »
question for 2.2 owners.... how long does it take yours to get to 80/85 on the temp gauge?

Wondering if mine is too slow and needs a new themostat.

It was in the garage last night, but damn cold this morning, but its always roughly the same, about 6 mins to get to 75 degrees, 7 mins and its at 85 degrees.

First 4/5 mins are just 20/30mph until i get out of town, soon as i speed up to 60ish it warms up quicker.

I never rev it above 3k, until up to temp.

Yep sounds about right tunnie.......

You'd know if thermostat was stuck open......mine now and then sticks open or isnt fully closing.......temp drops sometimes when on a run .....50/60 ish mph and it will drop to 70-75C.
