I am curious as what water temp. other people see after a spirited drive with proper cool down? I ususally see my temp goes up to around 190ish with the fan on for 5 mins. Just want to get an idea and compare, I am parnoid about water temp!

 

ive seen mine go as high as 101 C with a proper cool down and all. as soon as i start the car it goes back down to normal 85-89 C

 

I see water temps of 87-90C and after shutdown i get about 98-100 and almost immediately after restarting it comes down to 87-90.

 

I guess cruizing is around 83-85, and maybe this is just a number in my head, but around 100 seems pretty hot after shutdown. I wonder what other car gets after engine shutdown, but since I never bother find out, I will never know.

 

I always see 180 at shutdown because I run my fans for a few minutes right before I reach my destination. I have a fan mod.

 

@ shutdown and after shut down is a different story. The temp usually climbs up to at least 15-20 before it starts to come down.

 

Next time I am nothing to do, I will check it 5 minutes after shutdown. Keep in mind, the cooler it is before shutdown, the cooler it will be after.

 

If I can, I like to open the hood and let the engine bay "breath" some while I'm letting it cool down...I normally let it idle for 5mins or so and then let the fans run for 2-3mins and see the temp after shutdown get to around 96-100C...If I don't let it idle for that long and keep thing closed I get temp as high as 110C!

 

Yes, the car heat soaks after shutdown. Just like any other car. Don't worry about it.
