Engine temperature high warning
Got a engine temp warning. I was aware of the issue I dropped my car off for downpipes and jb4 and my guy said I had a very small coolant leak from one of the hoses. It's not even leaking out it's more sweating there's no coolant leaking on the floor and I drove the car home fine. I ordered a replacement hose but outta stock until mid march anyone else have a issue like this?

Did the coolant leak happen before or after the install? I know that map can be disturbed/removed from bracket when trying to access the MAP sensor which is below that.
Usually coolant gets crusty like that when it gets super hot. Perhaps an air pocket in coolant system? You ordered the rubber hose itself? Hopefully not an issue with your pump. |

This is concerning because this isn't the first time i'm seeing an issue relating to coolant lost.
Not to mention i wonder about my car because i have the water temp gauge in my gauge pocket and sometimes i'll be driving and i see the temp gauge sit at 210F, then all of a sudden i see it drop down to what looks like to be in the 170-180F range. Then sometimes i'll see it a bit past 210F to what looks like 220F. This is in current northeast weather so it's cold out. Plus when i'm noticing these odd readings i'm always on the move and not sitting at a light. I don't smell coolant nor am i losing any. But now i feel like i gotta check all those hoses now. |

Hoping just some air pockets in these vehicles and nothing major..... When you vehicle is jumping around is it in between driving and coming to a stop or it's bouncing around while driving? |

The gauge isn't really jumping around per say, but if i notice my temp gauge at 210, then after a few minutes of highway driving i'll notice it below 210 (yes i know because of air flow while moving), but then randomly i'll see it past 210 as well. As if the reading is inaccurate showing random readings in your gauge cluster. |

I've actually smelled coolant, after running my car, hard a few times. I open the hood, and can't actually smell coolant under the hood. Not sure where its coming from, I've smelled it 2-3 times, and I'm not even 100% sure its my car.
But it just seems like a coincidence, that I would get done running it hard, and stop at a light with the windows down, sometimes with other cars around, and it smells like its coming from my car. I've never noticed any temperature issues, though.

I would say take it in to dealer to get looked at but with the mods you have...I'd talk to them first and see how they feels about mods being on there. Not going to have anything to do with them but dealerships are crooks. |

Peace of mind. You don't have to have a leak test done but I usually like to find out about leaks myself than having a coolant light flash on to tell me when it has been spraying everywhere or possibly overheat the car. I would hope there are no other leaks but who knows. Replacing just that hose will probably be it.

I ran the bleed procedure replaced a hose with a new one and after about five minutes of driving the engine temp came back on. I am running jb4 not sure if that has something to do with it. The car is showing engine temp too high but the code is reading engine temperature too low. Any ideas on what it can be?

Any update on this? I have a JB4 hooked up and never have flashed a tune just using it for diagnostics in real time. My coolant Wiley fluctuates between 210-221 just easy driving I.e. cruising on the highway at 70mph getting 41 mpg and it still crawls up to 221. When I floor it the temps drop down to 164. Haven’t gotten a coolant warning. I am pretty sure I have air in my coolant because there is a toilet bowl pissing sound/you’ve just turned your tub to shower and can hear the air running through the pipe. I’ve cracked the coolant lid after running it hot and seen steam come out and watched the coolant surge up and flow back down as well. I bought a burping kit but couldn’t get it to burp. I can’t find the damn bleeder screw!

I am up in the north east, kinda hilly, so going north I average about 28mpg but coming back home going south which is more down hill I get 39-41 if no traffic. I just use my big toe and go very light on the pedal. Have the ZF8 though not MT. Any idea where the bleeder screw is? I installed the JB4 myself and don’t believe I installed it wrong.
