Water seems to be VERY hot

[Cathelijne]

The thermometer on the dash shows the water is 132ºC (270 F)!!!
The radiotor is already replaced for a larger one and it works. Could it be the thermometer itself? Or does anyone have another idea?

Almost forgot: It's a "83 Tasmin 280i

Hi,

Guess at 132C steam would be leaving the pressure valve, so I'm guessing your temp sensor has gone faulty. Shouldn't be too expensive a part to replace!

It is't that bad, it's "tot ziens"

You could apply some temperature strips on the rad and thermostat housing , these are crystal filled self adhesive themometers (like fishtank type)they measure and retain max temp reached. from Think Automotive 020 8568 1172.
