Just bled it. Still doing getting hot mainly when coming to a stop. Does the ecu have anything to do with it? Would making the fans come on sooner do anything or an upgraded rad? Any input and help is appreciated

I would recommend to buy two spal fans and an aftermarket RAD, this will improve your temps at idle, trust me the spal fans are beasts compare to the stock

By letting the fans come on sooner will do nothing because the problem is that the stock fans do not move fast enough to remove the heat from the radiator, this is why you need SPAL

Yeah I might go that route. I seem to only have a problem during the day mainly when it's hot out. I just got home on this 70 degree cool night and temps were normal.

Update, just plugged my laptop up to the car and the car got to 12 bars at around 195f according to the reading from the haltech ecu manager.

So is it running hot or was it just an ecu glitch? I just put my front mount heater exchanger on my car with comptech sc with after cooler.. I just don't want any issue.

I dunno it looks like its not running hot going by the ecu reading. I think the ecu changed how the stock temp gauge reads.

Probably because of the ecu. My car gets a little bit hotter than it used to since I have the larger front mount radiator but still has never gone over 205 degrees this summer or ever which is not an issue.

Dont speculate how hot it is by looking at the factory gauge. The ecu could scale the output differently than stock. Hook up your laptop and see how hot it really is.
