allright, here's a pic from another car that i copied from the net. now looking at the temp guage, are we saying that if the needle is exactly half way between the 80 and the 100 deg then it's fine. but my needle actually stays just a little above the 80deg mark. it intersects the digit 80 almost half way. now what temp. might that translate into ? 82, 83 ?
