Do i have a cooling isssue?

[shaner]

So I noticed my egts doing something a little funny
after driving around shortly I notice that the egt's stay around 4 or 500 even when I am stopped. should they not drop right down?
I do not drive fast and I usually keep them around 900 and never over ten except for very short time periods. I just had the water pump and timing belts (as well as a new head) replaced last month.

what can I check to make sure my vans cooling system is working properly?
is doing the rad a big job?

thank you

Normal... as you drive the exhaust heats the manifold, turbo and pipe.... that is going to be 350-500 just running....

I would wait for temps to come down to 400ish before shutting down...

that would seem to make sense. but I never really acted like this before.
does anyone know how to test if the fan clutch is not working?

[thedjjack]

cooling system is water temperature (rad, fan etc)

EGT is the flame out the cylinder and heat in the exhaust manifold..

higher than normal temperature could be fuel/timing issues....or headwind :)
