So.........

[white_vts_boy]

After asking for advice on here about a car running warm but not overheating I was given some advice to get a pressure test done so I did.

1. 210
2. 190
3. 190
3. 200

I have been told that this is good and that there is no problem with the head gasket.

So what now? The car dose not overheat but dose run hotter than any other vts I've owned the fan cuts in and cools back to halfway no problem? Any ideas?

Sounds normal to me. The gauges are not calibrated, which is why they have no scale on them. midway point is usually about 80 degrees, TU engines normally run at 90 degrees, so it's prefectly normal for it to read between half way and 3/4. when in traffic or town driving I'd expect to see it over 3/4 at some point.


According to Citroen, as long as the gauge isn't in the red, it's "normal".

Thanks, looks like it's time to get a test on it!

Warm lol? Isn't it normal for cars to do that :P

Check condition of rad, flush cooling system and refill with the correct coolant/antifreeze mix!

I was going to say flush the system.
