Coolant Temperature GCC-Spec FZJ100 (1 Viewer)

[JP105]

Dear Mudders,

there might won't be many FZJ100 owners on this forum, but i'm trying my luck anyway!

What readings do you normally get driving around in 20-30°C ambient temp. weather? the highest reading on the temp gauge I've ever seen is a tick below the mid mark (that was after 2hrs/200km driving up a mountain pass with 25°C outside temp.)

I know the 80 Series forum would be the better place for this topic but given the fact it's a GCC spec it does have a different radiator.

Somehow my carly OBD reader won't connect with the FZJ (had the same issue on my 1HD-FTE 100), so no chance to get a accurate temp reading.

Maybe there is a fellow GCC-spec owner who can enlighten me before I start digging into the thermostat and temp sensor

Cheers,

Nick

The factory gauge is notoriously inaccurate, if you're unable to run an OBD reader and you're concerned about engine temps, I would maybe put in an aux. gauge

My FZJ100 didn't read that low if I recall... @Bardiya would definitely know!

Anything from a quarter to a half is normal for a GCC FZJ100.

The temperature in your photo is normal.
