what’s the point of this? We all know where our needles sit. It would be more use if you could program them to display the actual temperature the ecu is seeing

I’m going to try this stuff in the winter when I drain my cooling system, even at full chat up hill I can only really see about 93 degrees on the nanocom, although I don’t like to push it to much as it’s my work truck

This is why i use the torque app on my phone connected to obd port, i get the real temp and see exactly what's going on at all times

I'm foot to the carpet with over 3t on the back..
Never goes above 94c.
The tow bar is a tad warped, so eh!
Cooling system is fine

Isn’t that what he was doing?
The factory settings let it sit in the middle when the real temp is between 65 and 115.
The standard temp gauge is a waste of time since the moment it starts to move upwards from centre you’ll see steam coming out of the bonnet at the same time.

The way I read it, all that's being changed is where the needle sits in the "normal" position. My point was that it would be more use if the gauge could be programmed to show the actual temperature

I got the temp on my landy to 96 today when towing uphill, then it dropped to 94, guessing the thermostat opened is that right?

Quite possibly, I think it’s fully open at 94*C. I can get mine to 105*C uphill with the caravan, although that’s an auto

Do you think it’s anything to worry about or no? I’m definitely getting some of that additive, weather it makes a difference or not we will see on the nanocom I suppose

sounds pretty good to me, I’d be happy if mine only went up that much. What radiator are you running ?

Hi tom it’s the original radiator so I’m unsure but guess pulling uphill gets them hot though, do you know how many litres of coolant the defender td5s hold?

about 12ish I think from memory. 94 certainly wouldn’t worry me. 110 would be concerning, when the gauge moves to the red it’s at least 120 and that would definitely be concerning!
