Evo 7 differs after change of radiator coolant

[satria81]

Hi All,

My car was running perfectly fine until I changed my radiator coolant 2 days ago.

I drained the entire coolant and replaced with 04 litres of Mitsubishi coolant and now the issue is as below:

my temperature gauge is showing only 1/4 temperature ( so low ) when driving & when on idle the gauge is showing less than 1/2 which was the normal or usual temperature prior to change of coolant, regardless during drive or when idling.

Anyone knows why is the temp now at 1/4 during drive. All thoughts would be greatly appreciated .

Probably something clogged on the hoses or need to change the thermostat.
You may re-flushing the radiator again...to see to outcome.

good morning pangyau,

if the hoses are clogged, the temperature would be high rite .. ?

mine is showing very low temp.

the best is to get an external water temp meter installed.
