What's your coolant temperature?

[suysuy]

So i just replaced my radiator. I bought this obd reader from Lazada. I am just curious since my coolant temperature is 96c-110c. Temp gauge never touches middle. It's slightly below the middle mark.

Car: Sorento 2009 2.5 EX VGT

Should I be worried? Coolant is 50/50 mix. I checked other vehicles they stay at 88c-92c.

there could be several reasons.
1. thermostat is not opening
2. water pump is almost ready to go
3. radiator fan is ready to go

magkano ba ang water pump at thermostat?

That range is on the high side. Generally ideal to be at sub-low 90s. Check the high & low speed fan functions aside from those mentioned by Stock E. Bleed coolant properly, too.

hyundai din sasakyan ko. I changed the waterpump and thermostat na. thermostat is around 1k, water pump is around 5k. radiator fan im not sure of the price.

Are lower temp thermostats available for Hyundais, sir?

OE thermostats are generally designed to open late for temperate regions to hasten engine & cabin heating on cold months. Cold starts & delayed heating are unhealthy for the engine. But...we're in the tropics w/ terrible traffic that cancel that concern. Having lower temp thermostats could help a bit in our conditions. Those units w/ resistor controlled multi-speed fans can also be tweaked to run on high all the time when the ECU calls for low. The engine, & the people inside the car will appreciate these tropic traffic cooling mods....just sharing some unsolicited proven unconventional cheats.[emoji4]

we will see when this engine fails. its at 250,000. i will change in a year or so.

A bit of caution here:

Most thermostats starts opening at around mid-70-80°C and are completely open by around 90°C. Most engines' optimum operating temp ranges between 95-105°C. There's no need to replace the thermostat unless it is defective. Using a replacement part that opens at a colder range will not solve a cooling system fault that is caused by something else. Besides, making this mod will more likely than not prolong warm up times for that engine.

Also, tweaking the radiator fans to always spin at high speeds (even if the ECU is requesting low) will likely shorten their life. You could end up with dead radiator fans in the middle of a trip..... and then you're really in a mess.

all the cars i have owned, have their normal temp needles at "just slightly below the middle mark".
by my reckoning, that is normal.

Seems normal nga pero mine is 96-110c parang its on the hot side. But no overheating. Needle stays the same though. Baka kasi wala akong allowance when I make long trips or uphill climbs. Baka doon magka aberya kasi nasa upper limit na ako ng temperature range.

[suysuy]

By the way, at 73c the needle gauge already points at the normal level (slightly below middle) and even at 110c it stays the same.

Connected ba yung gauge sa engine coolant temperature? Or independent sila. 73c seems too low for a normal operating temperature of a diesel engine. Baka busted na tung sensor ko.

It goes back to 96c kapag idle.

I observed this to be true, for newer vehicles. I just don't know why with "Fiera" and "owners" that the gauge stays about 1/3 from zero. The same is true with our CR-V 98. Now I'm thinking, there could be something that is not normal that I thought all the while is normal.

Partly negligence ko rin. When the radiator was convered to brass tank, hindi ko na siya na refill ng coolant. Distilled water nalang. It took 2 years for the impeller to disintegrate.

Kaya lesson learned, pure distilled water can cause accelerated degradation of your water pump.

distilled water doesnt have corrosion inhibitors. two kinds of metals will cause bad corrosion..

Diba distilled water is as good as coolant?
Di nga lang ganon ka effective sa cooling pero hindi sya mag foform ng rust.
