Managed 57c after 1 hour running compared to 38c in same time before.
Does this sound right? Am I expecting more from it than I Should?
Any thoughts appreciated
Thanks. Lee.


No, this does not sound right.
From memory, mine reached circa 70 deg after about 15-20 mins running.
I’d really need to do a check again to be sure.
You should not need to run for 1 hr, to get up to a reasonable temperature.

Do you have the engine running when doing the test?
