Parked, My idle temp is 193 f. If I raise the rpms to 1200 it drops quickly to 184f. Is this normal or not? I am concerned that I have an issue because I had a sticky tstat last week now I am OCDing .

Input please. Thank you.

 

180 t stat.

 

It's normal. When you raise the RPMs the water pump circulates more water and the fan draws more air thru the radiator.

 

thank you, sir

 

Is this a 180F Land Rover stat or Motobad aftermarket? Most LR stat users have not reported this operation, but I do agree with the Dr on the cause. And we have pix posted of 65 mph with 182F...

Might also check on fan clutch, fins of radiator blocked, etc.

 

thanks, everything is new in the cooling system, save the heater core (it has been flushed x6 and is good). it is lr stat
