    Temperatures Oil & Water

    Bought my first S2 and noticed that the Oil and Water temps seem to take awhile to rise. Water after a 15 minute steady drive to work on a morning gets almost half way between 50 and 90. Oil Temp just to say moves off the lower temp.

    Is this normal with other S2 owners?

      mine sits at about 80. always thought that was a bit low. going to blank off the aux rad and see what effect that has.

          Where it sits isn't really a worry unless very low as the gauges read different from one to another , its how long it take to warm up that tells you you need a new thermostat or not.
          It doesn't matter how big or how many rads you run if your thermostat is working it will warm up quick .
