Interesting you say 90C Phil, mine is rarely above 70C on the gauge. Even during the recent mapping session it didn't get that high.
Sound like a problem ???

Mines connected to the big metal lumpy thing under the big flap at the front of the car that everyone tells me to leave shut.
Mr Kindon fitted it, so he'd be best to advise.

Does seem a little low. As you mentioned if Andy has fitted it it will be right.

as the carman says, this is about right, what gauges are you using ??
av used defi and prosport in the past without problems.
only time a had problems was wen using a remote pipe from block to temp sensor.
soon as a put sensor straight into block it was spot on
