Scooby seems to be running hot

When I drive my Scooby seem to run hot on normal temperature gauge just above half way but on after market gauge says 91 and fans kicking got after market alloy radiater on Scooby is there any thing I can check to.make sure it's running right.

Refitting the standard radiator will solve the problem.

Mate did the same on stand radiator that why I changed is there anythink else it could be

Would it run less hot if I heat wrap my headers and sort turbo heat shield out ?
And is it worth buying updated thermostat to open early and we're would I get one

get andrew to monitor from his software when u come friday mate he tell you if you have a issue, if you have the air con on it will kick the fans in.

What type of water temp gauge you got in?

Cheers Andy will do digital gauge

What make?

Pass all I know came from street glow no marking on gauges. How do you take air locks out of system I know you take header tank cap of wile running engine and put heaters on low but is there any thing else thinking could be air lock ?

If you had an air lock the temps would be up and down, not a steady 91 degs, sounds like you have an inaccurate gauge to me.

Mate is up down soz jonny

How do I take air lock out of radiator so I can make sure there none

91 degrees isnt hot, the temp goes up and down as the thermostat opens and closes, if youve fitted one of them cheap ally radiators imo remove it and fit the standard one before it starts causing you problems, the standard rad is very good and can easily cope with power that you are running

Mate radiator was £250 was doing the same on standard radiator when antifreeze got change I'm thinking there a air lock could you tell me how to take air locks out please

what makes you think you have an air lock?

if you measuring your water temperature via one of the radiator hoses ie, a t-piece slpliced in, you might aswell disregard the readings as they are inaccurate

As sits a 85 then jumps to 95 then 100 then fan kick in then jumps to 91 and then 87. Yet on normal gauge site above half way and may be move couple mm had problem for wile after antifreeze got changed in standard radiator so I changed to alloy one and still the same but few people say there a pain to bleed but I don't now how look up on net and say lad had same problem end up been air lock thinking worth a try

Yer mate t piece on top radiator hose oh ok thanks mate

I would really listen to them two lads above both have years of experience with the Subaru Imprezas, and performance side of things.

The Alloy Rads are crap at getting rid of heat!

Id keep your old one and fit it back on the car, just becasue it was £250 doesnt mean its good

No probs I now what there saying mate stand radiator better I agree but did the same on standard and alloy. One So wondering if something else is wrong

what temp does your gauge read when fans kick in?

Will bring my car down to one of you to have look if you don't mind and yous could have look

90 I would say mate

Will double check tomaz what should it be ? Any you fancy have a luck at it for me

the fans come on at 94 degrees, a decent diagnostic reader will read the water temp from ecu which is accurate, 91 degrees is normal if driving round town, temp will drop if on a motorway at a steady spead but if yor seeing 100 degrees that is cause for concern providing gauge is accurate, is it using any water?
