#59806, "ECT- External Coolant Temp Datalog VS. Gauge???"




          

Hi all-

I have been having some coolant issues lately, and so I bought a datalogger for my laptop a while ago.

here's the deal. My temp gauge in the dash cluster has never moved up above the normal 1/2 way point.

My electrical Water Temp gauge is reading around 185-190 F when the car is warmed up and moving.

However, My datalogger is reading a ECT of around 200-210 F.

WTF?? which one is right? Where does the Datalogger/ECU get its readings from. Which one do you think I should trust... lol.

I was having coolant spilling out around the radiator cap so I replaced that with a 13psi cap, but my temps havent changed.

Any ideas people?

Thanks,
Chris b.
