What is the normal indication for the BYD Tang water temperature gauge?
2 Answers
BYD Tang water temperature gauge normally indicates 90°C at the center. Below is relevant information about the water temperature gauge: 1. Principle: Both excessively high or low vehicle water temperature will affect engine operation. Through internal resistance changes, the sensor's resistance variation alters the current flow, driving the water temperature gauge movement to reflect engine operating temperature. 2. Cooling system causing overheating: Insufficient coolant in the cooling system leads to engine overheating. Stop the vehicle, wait for the engine to cool, then add coolant. 3. Heat dissipation causing overheating: Blockage of radiator grille or core ventilation ducts by debris results in poor heat dissipation, causing engine overheating. Replace radiator covers or clean debris. 4. Engine oil causing overheating: Insufficient engine oil or substandard oil quality leads to engine overheating. Simply replace with high-quality engine oil.
I've driven a BYD Tang for several years, and the normal temperature gauge reading typically ranges between 90 to 95 degrees Celsius, just like most gasoline or hybrid models. This is the optimal operating range for the engine. After starting the vehicle, the coolant temperature rises quickly from a low level and stabilizes within this range in about five to ten minutes, with the needle usually centered or slightly to the right on the dashboard. If the temperature rises higher, say above 100 degrees, it's a cause for concern—this could indicate cooling system issues like insufficient coolant or a faulty fan, requiring immediate inspection to prevent engine overheating damage. I make it a habit to monitor temperature fluctuations while driving, ensuring stability during long trips, and regular coolant replacement during maintenance is crucial. In short, around 90 degrees is the sweet spot, keeping the car both efficient and safe.
