Hi all, just looking for a benchmark figure here. Please no "you need to do this comments". Please help out by simply providing your direct answers to the following:
1. What coolant temperature does your sprinter operate at:
(a) Normal Idle
(b) Under general driving conditions around town
(c) Along the highway (90-100km/hr) - 3000rpm
(d) Continuous mountain climbs at 40-45km/hr 2500rpm
2. Where are you located (region)?
3. What are your general summer ambient outdoor temperatures?
With regard to my previous posts, our engin is operating cooler than what we have ever had it, thanks to some genuine parts. I am simply wanting to put out this survey to fellow sprinter owners to see where mine benchmarks now. I am well aware that there will be diffences between regions, vehicle ages, and engines - but as a said a general benchmark.
The twats at Mercedes dealership as they say "are not permitted to provide manufacturer operating specifics"
Thanks in advance, and if any of you want to be adventurous to put your van through the above paces (where possible) to give me proper readings that would be appreciated.
