Justa R56 operating norms?

Hi All,

I just got an UltraGauge and trying to setup an alarm for the engine coolant temp. Wondering if someone knows what the temp norms (coolant, water, oil etc...) for justa cooper should be. Also is there anything I should keep an eye on? I've been trying to find information on this but everything out there seems to be for an MCS.

Thanks!
-D

I have a 2008 "Justa" and to monitor the Coolant Temp. (not used all that often) I have a Garmin EcoRoute HD connector, plugs into the OBD connector under the dash. Anyway, once at operating temp. she usually runs about 221deg.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info. I heard that Mini's run hot but I was thinking that was for the turbo not the non turbo. I'll see what my gauge says once I get the thermostat replaced.

Mine also runs just about at 220F, according to the ScanGauge. I don't have oil temp available to me, so I don't know what is normal for that. I would expect to see around 200F, based on other cars, but some do run warmer and some run cooler.
