fjpod Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 I have a scanguage 2 and I was noticing my coolant temp reaching 211 degrees F while stuck in traffic. When moving it is 185-190F. Isn't this a little high? I have the 4 cyl gasoline engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which opens once the car hits that temp. so 211 is not too uncomon in traffic. anyone have the stats for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyoram Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 No stats here. But I would say that is normal. Now if it got into the 220-230 range I would be concerned with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed.Anything over 220, even in traffic is unaceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjpod Posted October 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 I never hear the cooling fan go on. Maybe it is real quiet. Gonna have to check it someday with the hood up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raidervader32 Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 I have a 2012 Dodge Journey that I have issues with the coolant system. I have replaced the heater core Twice, radiator once, thermostat once and distribution housing once. I still run about 230-250 which is hot. I’ve taken it to the dealership for repairs and I keep having this issue. They stated it was normal. I disagree. This is going to cause premature breakdown of my block and warp my heads.

A few questions on this. Did you bleed the air out of the cooling system after replacing any and all of the parts? If their is air trapped in the cooling system that could cause an issue with the circulation of coolant. Do you heat hot air out of the heater? If you do not get hot air out of the heater after the vehicle has warmed up that indicates little to no circulation. If you have bleed the air out and get hot air from the heater I would try another thermostat, because you may have gotten a bad one that is not opening or may have a water pump that has gone out or a clog somewhere in the cooling system.

2late4u Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 if you have a 3.6 it uses a 203 degree stat. normal temp should be between 195 to 210 IF your rad fan is working properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
