Hi - new member.
Owned a 2014 from 2014-19 and have been keeping my eyes open for a clean lower miles example.
Test drove a ‘16 with 77k miles, most of the regular bolt ons including full exhaust, cold air intake, Cobb intercooler and access port, and aftermarket 3 row radiator.
Very hot and dry here about 105 degrees. Started car and drove for about 10 minutes on back streets. Noticed AC was not cooling down much but that’s often the case for alot of cars here unless cruising at constant highway speeds.
A handful of quick pulls from 5-60 mph well short of redline.
The overheat symbol came on and the Cobb access port was reading oil temps at 240-250.
Suggested a short cruise on the highway. Temps dropped to 235 and overheat symbol turned off. AC started to cool the car a bit so it was functional but air never got cold.
Felt like the car lost alot of power thinking maybe went into limp mode?
Surprised because everything I read says an aftermarket radiator solves the overheating problem.
Also doesn’t having an aftermarket intercooler help keep engine temps down?
Thanks in advance for any insight!
