[s-cars] Temp & Trans Question

[Fred Munro]

Hi Bruce;

The stock thermostat is 87C, so the temp gauge should be riding around the
90C mark. Mine always runs at 90C unless it is colder than -30 outside, then
it cycles from 85C to 95C, probably because the rad never really warms up at
those temperatures.
My oil temperature runs around 100C even at very cold outside temperatures
(-30 ).If your engine and oil temps are low, you probably need a new engine
thermostat.

As for the neuS4 tranny, I believe one lister has installed one
(Elijahallen92 if I recall correctly). He wrote several posts on it - you
should be able to find them in the archives. As I recall, the bellhousing
had to be modified to fit the I5 block

Hi all.

I've been following the posts about t-stats and mileage with interest. I get
lousy (LOUSY) mileage all the time, and last night while running on the
highway for 50 miles, in 30 degree F temp, at 85MPH, my temp gauge read just
to the right of the third mark (first mark being far left at 50 Celsius,
then two thick lines close by, then one more thick mark a little further
away, then 90 thick mark). In other words, only about halfway to the thick
90 degrees Celsius mark. That seems WAY low, yes?

Also, oil temp the whole time was very low (running 5W-30 Mobil 1) as well,
at around 85 Celsius by my guess, being just on the mark after the thick 60
Celsius starting mark.

Second, does anyone know if a S4 2.7TT 6-speed trans can be bolted up to a
UrS4?

Thanks!

Bruce
