I just finished cleaning all the inside glass of all my gauges (what a difference they look NEW) So I toke her out in the Miami weather tonight the outside temp was a nice hot 80 degrees. I drove my 914 for over an Hour an Half I drove her really hard and fast up 80MPH:driving: . The OEM temp gauge only read a 1/4 up and it never even got half way up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) . Once I got home I opened the engine lid and the Dip stick Temp Gauge read 250 degrees. ( note i have checked the dip stick boiling point yesturday before i installed it.) If My 914 is running hot what what might be the causes and which gauge should i trust.

I'm not trying to be a downer, but I speak from some experiance, as I've had a few 914's...
220 as a high point in your climate and highway driving is very optomistic without a second cooler, and impossible in the summer. I'm hoping you find blockage (check your warm up flaps too) but the temps you are seeing are exactly what I have seen with all my 2.0's before a aux cooler. Ferg |

My /4 has no temp gauge of any kind. I borrowed Ferg's Mainley dipstick thermo once. Saw 230-240. "That's a little high." Pulled that sucker out and gave it back to Ferg. Twisted the key and dumped the clutch and throttle and never looked back. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) That was a year or so ago (maybe more?). Drive it like you stole it! |
