dont have any fancy gauges but the factory engine temperature gauge on mine sits on halfway or just a little over. probably not the answer you wanted, but hey

I helped James (the original owner) fit the twin electric rad fans that are/were on your car. They were set to kick in at 90C and off at 85C.. This would be considered a normal temp to operate at. Oil is fine below 120 but should sit slightly higher than the water.

okay cool. i just wanted to double check because my mate had me worrying haha. yeh the oil does hit higher then the water. ill have to check readings when i drive home from work.

thanks mate

IIRC correctly fitting an oil cooler dropped everything to just right! So even cruising on the motorway I think about 90 deg (used to be about 100 deg).

You should only find oil temp hitting 120+ on a track session after a few laps or halfway around Nurburgring on a hot day lol

No idea about water as I dont have a gauge.
However oil temp for me sits at 90 oC normal fount town or 90-100oC motorway. 105-110oC absolute tops if I am pushing it.

My water temp is normally between 74 and 80•
