Coolant temperature gauge on Superb

[Spindoctor29]

For the guys who are driving the Superb...When you start the engine say in the morning, does the needle climbs straight up to the middle i.e. to 90C or does it takes several minutes for it to get to 90C?

Hi Spindoc,

 

Mine takes atleast a few mins b4 it hits middle...

[Kiatmobile]

Mine too....

 

It takes about 5 minutes to reach almost middle...

[Spindoctor29]

Mmmm...time to sent my car to the CA I think. Mine reaches middle almost immediately.

hi bro

Ours take about 3 or so minutes to reach middle. So I guess that's normal? Anyway, is your car 5k run-in yet? Then perhaps just remind them to check your coolant?

normally in the morning,when u start ur engine,it shd not climb straight up to 90degrees...

cos ur engine is still very cold...it takes a few mins to slowly goes up...

did urs go straight to 90 degrees when u start ur engine???

[Turbonetics]

On our ride, it will take between 3 - 5 minutes to reach 90 deg C. How is the traffic condition for you in the morning?

[Spindoctor29]

Very slow, you know I don't drive fast Anyhow, is with the CA service centre now.

The temp got to 90C in less than 30 secs, I think either sensor or gauge faulty.

My SE did a check on the Superbs in CA show room and found all of them reaches middle as soon as ignition is on. So case rest.

 

BTW, do you guys have 2004 models?

There are some owners in our group who have 2004 models e.g. Conned, Superb.
