Also, what "light" do you mean? I can't think of a light you can turn off that would effect temperature??
This is well documented on the forum by some, when you turn on the lights, the indicated water temperature on the dash increases.
Thought to be an electrical grounding issue somewhere ..
Yes, I mean exactly this!
When the Atom has some load (the light, the fans, etc), the displayed temperature is higher then without load.
And I suspect it depend by the sensor and the ground ... because the sensor has only 1 wire.
On the road i ususlly drive with the light on, so i know the displayed temeprature is +3°C more.
My fans (now I have 2 fans, one in the front of the standard radiatore and the other in the top of the second radiator) start at about 96°C (displayed value). When all 2 fans start, the displayed temperature increse up to 100-101°C, then it starts to decrease until about 92-90°C when the fans stop.
I'm not sure about the outside temperature when I run on the Atom (it doesn't have any temperature indicator
), but in these days the outside temperature is about 35-38°C in the middle of the day. On 31 August, if the wheater reamins the same, we can hae a comparison with the Atom guys that will come in Italy.
