vr6 temp

[terps]

ey guys my vr6 coolant water is very hot i take it its not normal? but its on the right level

[stotto]

Not necessarily, Coolant at full temp is pretty close to boiling point.

Plus the system is pressureised so that raises the boiling point of the coolant, thus the coolant gets even hotter.

So I would say its pretty normal.

Thats why there is warnings on radiator caps.

Check your auxilliary water pump.
Mine failed and jammed up and caused overheating.
You should be able to hear it spinning away with the ignition on and the engine not running.
