Re: THAT WAS CLOSE!
my temp often sits around 90 on sunny days like this. in traffic it does go over slightly then goes back under once fans have been on for a few mins.
i recently changed the 2 sensors and 3 relays because the fans were not coming on at all. but now they seem ok. it hasnt gone over 90 since i changed these

Re: THAT WAS CLOSE!
My Hdi runs at 90 summer and winter,got stuck in traffic fri night on the M42 and the oil temp went up to just over 90 but the water stayed at 90,i had the aircon on all the time so i suppose the condensor fan was on though.It's gonna be fully loaded and towing the caravan down to Cornwall for the first time at the end of July so that will be the acid test.

Re: THAT WAS CLOSE!
Mine also runs at 90 all the time,
But when I was towing the caravan, water stayed at 90, but oil temp went up to just over 100.
