996 Engine Temperature
 

Hi,

My 1998 996 3.4L engine runs at 90-95 degrees. I'm living in a warm/hot climate with temperatures in the mid 30's(celsius). Is this a normal operating temperature or do I need to look at another thermostat. Car has always had factory maintenance and fluids.

Thanks

Don't think that is high for your ambient temp. That is, as long as it stays there.

My 1999 911 CAB runs about 180-190 degrees F. I live in Florida so it isa hot climate. The need on the temp gauge generally point up +/- a few degrees.

My 1999 FYI I bought new and it has been a perfect car.

Good luck to you.

PS: I misread your post your car is aircooled so my post has not benefit to you. Sorry.

i drive an '03 996 in central california...outside temps in the mid to high 90s lately and she still runs just over 180 degrees (F). that's the sweet spot.
