What is the normal water temperature at idle after a bit of a drive about ie at traffic lights or in traffic, of your turbo mini ?

I am interested to see if my mini is hot or not

I get about 80 degrease i used to get less before a tune up

and what is the most you want to see ideally

with a electric fan running and the mechanical one
my turbo is plumbed in to the water system as well

i would have thought at idle the temp will fluctuate around the opening temp of the thermostat?

Hi,
You want it up about 85-90 really.
Cheers,
