Hello,
just made another mountain trip with my Mirage and logged the altitude and the engine coolant temperature on that trip, see graph below
The data shown is altitude and coolant temperature vs. time.
One can see that the engine coolant in the 90C until I start onto the first significant climb where it then rises up to 100C. Similarly, on the last stretch the coolant temperature oscillates between 90 and 97C. I had two grills blocked with a foam roll.
My question is whether I was already at the high limit of what the coolant temperature ought to be or how I could have optimized the grill block?
Would you have removed the blocks before the climb? I guess the fan had to come on to improve cooling and driving the temperature back to the 90C.
thx for your insights.
