C180 advice

[Glenn]

What's the normal running temp for a petrol C180?? Mine constantly hits the 90 mark, and when driving in rain I actually get steam rising from off the bonnet, as the raindrops evaporate. Surely that's not normal??

Also recently she's started to get a bit 'lumpy' and when trying to accelerate it's almost as if she's starved of fuel. Any ideas??

Thanks,

Glenn :cry: [/b]

Hi Glenn

I don't think you have a temp problem. Its normal for the engine to sit at 90 degrees. Cold rain on a hot bonnet will cause a little steam at times. Nothing to worry about though.

Hi Glenn

Seeing steam coming off the bonnet when raining is perfectly normal.
This happens to my 190 especially waiting in traffic when it is raining.
