Front right wheel temperature higher

thaalrasha · 11-03-2017, 06:14 AM

Hi guys,

Just wondered if you had seen this before. I've been displaying the temperature monitor for the wheels a bit more often and I noticed my front right temperature reading while rise up suddenly more than the other wheels (eg it jumped from 6C to 12C while the other wheels were at 6 or 7 still). This doesn't happen during braking... last time i noticed the jump was during coasting. I've never seen it getting very hot or anything but just wondering what it could be...

Normal, even more so if you are in sport mode this has to do with the cooler right in front of the right tire

10 degrees more than other tires.. due to a heat exchanger being located in that area..

Thanks for the explaination guys. After doing more prolongated monitoring I see that it doesn't keep increasing (which was my main concern), so nothing to worry about then.

My front left wheel is the hotter one. What I mean is I am the driver and the left one relative to me facing forwards.

Same with me. Lot's of people don't know left vs right. Just as many don't know left vs right when talkin about vehicles too. Could be either. Could be both. lol

Drivers side is warmer on mine.

FYI Left and right is dictated by driver's seat position so in the US right side is passenger left side is drivers side. The industry world wide agreed on this a long time ago.

An excellent and now obvious point.

Driver’s left. That should work to distinguish the wheel/tire I’m talking about.
