I know Sunday was perhaps the hottest day of the year so not generally the best conditions for it but any of those travelling to from Camperjam or any other show for that matter fully loaded, what kind of speeds are you doing at what revs and what temp are you running at. also what distances are you covering between stops if any?
I never know what is optimum for the engine, some say its higher revs as the fan is pushing out more air. Some say lower revs as less load on the engine
I think my engine is a 1641 (have a receipt for it from 2000) and not sure on the gear box.
Coming home from camperjam along the A5 im sitting at around 45-50 in 4th engine doing about 2-2500rpm but the temp gauge is just going up and up. Its out of an old Audi Coupe and connected to a sender but not really sure how accurate it is. When I did increase speed to get the engine revs up it went up quicker. It did level off in the end and not get any hotter but if the gauge is to be believed this was at around 150 degrees :shock: However with this guage normal is around the 130 mark (I have read that with VDO gauges 12 oclock is classed as normal but surely that's to hot)
So the question is fully loaded, what speeds are you doing for how long at what revs and temps
