the heated cannot be hotter than that which is heating it - else u should sell that technology! ;-)

hence, the water temp must be less than the oil temp, so the car should be warmed up.

imho (and im no techy car bod)
Do the water and oil not get heated by the block?

I dont understand what you are on about, but if that was aimed at my post - I am simply going by what numbers flash up at what times on the cars I have driven.

After the first service you're free to use the 2nd Cam anytime you like. The second cam is not 'activated' at the first service - it's always been there - just lurking :wink:

Word of advice :

- let the car warm up past 84degC
- find a dry bit of straight road with no trees or potholes (best one to try first is a dual or m'way)
- get your mind straight
- watch the needle pass 6000, then at 6200 it'll make a bigger noise (especially with a 2Bular :lol: ), then quickly rush to 8 something, when the red light goes on. I say 8 something because i'm usually focussing on the road, listening to the exhaust and waiting for the rev limited light to come on in my peripheral vision.

- Use your brakes to slow you down, not the engine - cheaper to replace :shock:


Go enjoy !!!
