Guest Stephenmilner Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Hi Guysthe water temp in my 28 buick tourer is around 70 deg CelsiusI feel this is too high.What temp should I be getting?I want to check the thermostat but looks pretty solid, are new ones available and from where if they are? The radiator looks like new so maybe it is the thermostat.thankyou guyssteve Milner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_B Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Steve,Seventy degrees Celsius is close to prefect and possibly a tad low. Some say they run better around 80 deg C. Enjoy the ride.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephenmilner Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Hi DaveThanks for that, now I feel a bit more comfortable with it.Cheers from AustraliaSteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigersdad Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Steve -As Dave mentioned, that a perfect temperature, maybe a tad low? That's about 158 degree's for us here in the US. My 1932 Buick runs at about 180 degree's (80C) all the time. That is spot on.Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephenmilner Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Thankyou Jay for your reply, That is great to know.I was worried as the manual said the thermostat opened at 120 F and I thought that was about the running temp.That's a load of my mind now I can sort a few more issues out.Thanks to all you guys with you helpCheersSteve Milner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
