[[RPM]]

Mine doesnt get that hot.
How was the aux rad removed? Or both ends of pipe just blocked off?

No it shouldn't get that hot

I had my car serviced by QST last year and they noticed that the temperature gauge on mine went a little above 90c before the fan kicked in, but not as high as yours. According to them the temparature should not be too much above 90c.

Someone will post a pic in a minute detailing what each of the markers indicate. Looks like 93c to me though.

i had only in Summer this same temperature if drive in the streets...because the fan starts at this temperature.

always without any problems

aniway i think that it is not too normall....i think that we will have to replace the coolant temp sensor

Even at a track day with 20°c outside, I never saw such a high temp. reading. Not normal.

Mine did this once, it was down to fan switch faulty, i bought a new switch its all sound now

just after 90 i think, but some fans have been on at a tad below 90

[dest]

Mine hardly even moves above 90 before the fan kicks in

my radiator seems different...

the bottom end for the 2nd radiator is closed and the top one I dont have...
the rad must be from other coupe without the 2nd radiator

That's wrong. You've got a water leak somewhere so the system isn't presurising corectly. Could be a leak or head gasket, both gave similar symptoms on my car over the years.
