S4r running temp

[iainw]

What should the temp be at in normal running? Like at todays weather temp around 15c.

Mine runs at 65c ish, but my BM runs in the mid to high 80s. I've let it tick over until the fans come on which is at around 105c so I'm assuming the ECU is measuring it all OK.

I just think it's a bit low compared to the BM, and wondering if the thermostat is stuck open as it has been stood for just over 10 years, though I'd have thought that if it was stuck, it would be stuck shut.

Thanks,
Iain
