I have the DMGRS inline stat, no undertray, mine sits at 82-84c with heater on 2 bars with max temp. I occasionally see 87c under load but never drops below 82c even in this weather. Do you have a jubilee clip over the stat position in the hose?

When it arrived, I compared the water tightness of the wahler with a new first line one I had. The first line one lost all water in its bowl very quickly, whereas after 5 mins the wahler was retaining 3/4s of its fill. The proof though was in its fitment. Initial opening temp is 88 degrees, 90 if it is under load, and maintains 86 whilst cruising after its first opening. Sent from my SM-A600FN using Tapatalk

while you are all talking degrees could you please tell me where your temperature needle sits?
I have never looked at the digital temperature, just the needle so have no idea what mine gets so and go solely by the needle, hence I ask where your needle sits. Unless I get to a motorway or a long run my car does not get very hot as my speed is no more then 50 for a mile or so and then 40 perhaps for 4 to 5 miles and 30 for mile and a half. macafee2 |

Second the wahler stat.
Dmgrs stat failed after 8 / 9 months. I'm also found that his stats did not fully close and allowed coolant to pass ton the radiator before "officially" opening. Meaning it took much longer to reach the right temp. Although still better than without. |

Maybe. You could be running all the time at 75C, which is too low. All you know is it's somewhere between 75C and 115C. One's too low and the other's too high. Or as I call it:

I’ll third the wahler stat. Fitted one to father in laws car a few weeks ago. He said it’s the 1st time he’s smelled heat....😆
I find that their construction makes them more suitable for installation in the top hose than others, as they have a body with a rounded profile mating with the hose, rather than a “sharp” flange. I don’t have a picture to hand to show what I mean. Clf...have you a photo? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

TC, I have had a go at following these instructions https://the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/s...ght=diagnostic
First time I have ever tried to go to diagnostic mode. My engine was cold as it has been standing for a few days. My outside temperature was showing 7.5 when not in diagnostic mode, in diagnostic mode section 7 my coolant showed as ---000 I would have expected similar to 7.5. Is 000 what you would expect on a cold engine? macafee2 |
