Seriously high egt's. I take my foot off after 700 degC

I have my madman EGT alarm set for 690°C, so I back off when it starts beeping at me. That was just a test, wouldn't dream of doing it again...

But how easy is it to get there? I must say that on my Gen3 3.2Did where I had an EGT monitor for ages I never managed to get the temps too high. Maybe I adjusted my driving style once it was fitted and from there on never really needed it? Not sure but I never regularly got to 700degC. Once or twice to about 680 or so when pushing it uphill and towing, but other than that never.

Hello Cats

I have had mine beep at me a couple of times. I normally dont tow and I prefer to drive without my roofrack. I set the speed control on 135 (i.e. gps speed of +/- 125 km/h) and then just get going with going.

The madman starts beeping when I start going up passes and the car tries to maintain speed on the speed control. So i've learnt to start slacking off before it starts beeping at me

What EGT temp is yours set to beep at?

Cool, mine is 690°C. I have similar results to you, an aggressive overtaking manoeuvre up a hill gets it beeping at me, especially in 4th going over 3000 RPM.
