Question about running temp

PJinCA · 03-12-2016, 09:25 PM

I have had my car for 2 weeks now, and I have noticed it seems to run pretty hot in normal city driving. It has not over heated yet, but the temp seems to stay between 220 and 240 degrees. Is this normal for the 535? I know turbo engines run hotter, so I am wondering if it needs to be looked at.

You're all good. 220 is nice, but 240 is normal operating temps. Coolant a little lower

Thanks, still getting used to the turbo car

Nope, it's normal but it is a learning curve of sorts when you first get it. I wondered the same thing about my 550 (which runs even hotter than that!) but in 2+ in the middle of summer in Texas with the A/C on full Auto and the seat fans on, never a hint of overheating or even performance lag because of it. You're good to go!
