Water Temp readings

[northernjim]

Can I ask does anyone know what the water temp gauges readings are? I mean the oil temps are written down for us but not the water

what is operating temp?

100c I assume,

but how hot is 'red' 125c? 150c? I just want to figure out the range of temp we have to play with......

[northernjim]

so no one knows?



and 'red' is acceptable as a reading?

I know red is bad, but how bad? are you even allowed close to the red?! or just not right into it?

--> You need to select menu 7.0
So you can read what the operating temperature in your car is.
