RE: Fuel in Coolant
That's good to know. Perhaps I unknowingly got some fuel on the sensor when I was working on it last week... I did find the fuel leak I was initially looking for; it's on the engine-side of the injection pump. RE: Higher temperatures. I installed water temp senders in the coolant return hose (to the radiator) and my wagon reads an average of 10F-20F higher than my sedan. It also gets up to temperature much faster. I installed an 80C thermostat in my Wagon the other week after suspecting (haven't yet confirmed) that my sedan has an 80C thermostat. The wagon is now averaging 190-190F versus the sedan with is around 175-180F. I have not yet had the chance to test steep hills, but in the past, my wagon temperature would spike/increase during sustained highway travel and up hills, causing several hoses to burst. |

Radiator condition Thermostat functionality (sticking? sluggish?) Water pump condition, style, design (some are more efficient than others) Burst hoses: Expansion tank cap rating. Recommend use the black (lower pressure) Hose condition, age. Did they ever get oil or fuel soaked?
