I bought fluidyne radiator n dropped it in dc4 bay last month ago. I was shocked that temp needle stay close to C. Im very happy with the result. Today, i started to think its not very good cause its getting cold outside. My question is thats okay if temp needle stay close to C no matter how cold it is outside?


if you dont understand my english, please ask me to rephrase.. ill be happy to explain very clearly next time. thanks!

yes as long as your antifreeze mix is good for the temp....50/50 is perfectly ok for our GA weather, and as long as you got enough heat inside!

A fluidyne radiator isnt going to make it drop that many degrees. It will flow better but not keep it at Cº You might need a new temp sensor.

How's the heat inside? It could be a thermostat that's stuck open or like Anthony stated, a temp sensor.

if it stays that cold you're economy will suffer b/c the ecu will not get out of cold start mode. your thermostat may be stuck open.
