The first thing I would say is to only treat the gauge as a guide. Many variables determine where the needle sits for "normal" temperature. To help get familiar with my car, I stuck the wife's digital kitchen thermometer in the radiator and noted needle position for given temps. This only worked up to a point, as the system started spitting before the thermo fan kicked in. Nonetheless, a useful exercise for me. So in my case, the temp gauge is reading too high, so a mate is going to help me install a resistor in the circuit to drop the needle down to a more realistic level. Hope this helps. |

Degrees Fahrenheit - Degrees Celsius . . . _?_ minus 32, multiply by 5 divide by 9 = ? 200 -32 x5 /9 = 93.333333334 |

212 degrees fahrenheit is 100 degrees celsius, so yeah is ok but youll find car runs better/happier around the 200 mark |
