Default Engine Temp level?




Hello s2ki,

so i was wondering is the picture about correct for my Temp level? (2005 AP2) or should it be lower? i was reading on radiator flushes and someone said it should be at 3 bars and any more something is wrong. is that true? any ways just wanted to know if that is normal or not, thanks in advance!

You are just fine. # bars refers to the AP1. The gauges are different.

Coolant temp is just fine, but I think you have too much fuel.

If you switch it over to KPH, the coolant gauge will change to the metric version and 3 bars will be correct.
