Engine heating up crazy fast

[Steve.humberstone]

Hi guys, first post here.
Had my 197 on axel stands for the last 4 months doing work on all 4 corners, back on the road today but found the engine is warming up super fast, hot after a slow 5 minute drive, temp readout seems normal however.
Has anyone more experience than me ( minimal) on the 197 coolant system?
Cheers in advanced!

It’s meant to heat up fast. So long as it’s not overheating, you don’t have a problem.

Didn’t realise I had a reply to this
I kept an eye on it, I had only previously driven it in the cold and driving it during the UK heatwave it was quite alarming how quick it got to temp.
Seems to be running just fine though. I’ll be flushing the rad soon enough anyway so we’ll see what comes out.

Cheers
