TRAKCAR

Not sure if I will make it.

On my way back to Champion now, getting the same CEL with very low rising oil and watertemps after cold start. Drove 5 miles and the needle for the oil temp only comes off the peg when I stop!

It has been back for the same problem twice already. Temp sensor and thermostat replaced.

Problem is that it takes 50-100 miles or 2-3 days for the problem to re-occur, so I am getting doubtful they can fix it today and tomorrow.

Should I run on track? I mean on track the temps will come up..

Crap......that sucks

So that means there is an open spot for me

TRAKCAR

I'm sure that they will fix it again CEL will be off when I load tomorrow or Thursday, but chances are you can take my spot after the first session

Peter,
i had the same exact issue.
it's the coolant valve from the engine to the tranny.
mine failed 2x.
i understand there is no harm to the car, but should confirm with dealer.

your dealer should know about this if in communication with germany.

TRAKCAR

Thanks Nine9Sixer, I am waiting for the mechanic and mention this to him. It's worrysome, they just called me with a list of mods to the car and asked me what else. I don't see why they must list my camera, drop links and Sharky to the guys in Germany!

How much work is it to replace the valve? A days' work?

sin911

I hear you!

The Chin event is at the end of March, are you planning to attend any events before that around Homestead?

Izzone

As of now my future schedule is

Roebling Road / PCA / Feb 18,19,20

Sebirng / Chin / March 26,27

Sebring / PCA / April 2.....this is a maybe but probably will not attend

Sebring / Chin - Safe / April 9,10

I have never done an event at Homestead......pick a good one and I will come down

@ Peter, small piece of black electrical tape should clear that up.......hope you get it sorted mine is finishing in the spray booth as I type. My trailer will definately have that "new car" smell. Stop by should be in the usual place.

I might be hanging out in your trailer all weekend inhaling deeply..
