Normal Operating Temp

[Duey1083]

Hey Everyone,

So I replaced my thermostat and that helped to keep the temperature constant on the highway and around town. I'm just wondering where the needle should stay at to indicate normal operating temperature. Mine stays at about 1/3 from the Cold marking. Sometimes a little bit higher. I know most cars have the needle somewhere just below half, but mine is still a bit lower than that.

The car at least isn't going down to C when driving at 60 mph anymore. The heat also blasts very hot too, so I take it that that is a good sign!

Thanks, I appreciate all the help!

You should be good to go. With the teg's I've had the temp needle always stayed around 1/3.

1/3 on the needle can mean a lot of different temps. from my neptune reading, at about 1/3, it can vary from 170-210 degrees
