People with Leon Cupras

[CupraSteve]

Just a general question really, does your engine temp always rise to halfway on the gauge pretty quickly from cold then sit there pretty much bang on halfway in whatever conditions?

this is how mines always been just wondered if everyones the same?

 

[CH1]

yes.

 

[Pabs]

tbh, yes - that is the way it should be. If it goes above 90 then you'll probably have issues somewhere.

Not a cupra but my LCR gets to temp quickly and doesn't budge, only time it ever did was when the waterpump went.

 

[LEON_FR]

yeah same here

 

[Steve_B]

same here also

 

[Arctic]

Same on the FR TDi too

 

[transporter]

Yep mine also , but its doin it quite often ,if the car is running and is stationery after about 10/15 mins it shoots up and the warning light comes on , no diagnosticlight , so i knock the engine off release the header tank cap too release the pressure ( this is what ive been advised to do ) after that it goes back to normal ..

is this a problem thats goin bite me in the ass at a later date

 

[BEOWULF]

yer mine does as well

 

[daflyingfinn]

Same here

 

[RikH]

yep
its slower to reach 90 in winter
but it never passes it ever no matter what

 

[markoos]

In a one word answer-yes.Usually within 5 mins of setting off its up to temp,but then nearly all the cars I've owned have been the same.

 

[bigjode]

yep, mine too.
