How many members on the forum again?

[Hornung418]

Can someone please tell me what this means?

[Oli77]

You know, the On Board Computer values when you push on the reset knob on your cluster, the "Easter Eggs" some people call them.

You get your live, second-by-second engine temperature from the sensor. try it.

[Hornung418]

Ah okay, engine temp. I knew this was on the cluster, but I didn't know what exactly we were looking for.

[Oli77]

Yeah, thats the code for engine temp 19.7.00

96 to 97C......or 205 to 207F on my Garmin EcoRoute temp gauge. I had been meaning to check this to see how accurate the Garmin is, thanks for the reminder. Tried out the cluster check too, looks cool!

Something I've noticed......when I run up through the gears my temp will briefly drop from 205 to around 190 (87C) or so. I notice it if I accelerate from 1st or 2nd gear up to 5th or 6th and running it up to 5000 to 6000 rpm in each gear. Temp will gradually drop just after hitting the top gear and come back up to normal within a minute or so. Can someone try this and see if yours does it?

Thanks.....Barry

About your comment, I too notice a drop when (I think) you accelerate and push more air onto the radiator, then when you slow down or come to a stop, temp rises.

Still small turnout can we get more values?

[spencers]

Okay. Finally got around to this today

90

I *think* mine peaked around 95C, but don't remember for sure. Right after I replaced my thermostat last year the car overheated so I was using this OBC function a lot to monitor coolant temps, but I didn't know I could trigger it after the car was running. I think driving easy downhill on a cool day with the heater off it was down to 91 or 92C, and idling it would rise to between 93 and 95 before the fan kicked in. Will try this later so you can have another data point instead of my fuzzy recollection.
