Quick question Pelican Staff. I have a 2004 R50. Had the radiator replaced back in November due to curb damage. The radiator and housing were replaced but the lines/hoses were not. Ever since the repair the low and high fans kick on constantly. The temp never spikes on the interior gauge but I never had the fans be so active before they will even turn on AFTER the car is shut down several minutes later. Checked the temp with an OBDII and it's running between 96c-106c at freeway speeds. Is this a normal temp? What temp is the stock thermostat supposed to open? 185f, 200f, 220f? I'm arguing with the shop that the fan activity is abnormal. They say it is. :/

Giving me temps in °f °c is awkward. BUT - Thermostat opens at 205°f, 220°f is high.
