Hi guys, looking for a 2nd opinion.
My coolant temperature gauge once the car gets going rises to 1/3 on the gauge and never goes above this no matter if i'm pounding it on the motorway for 1 hour straight or if i'm sitting in start/stop traffic.
Is this normal?
Most cars I have had the coolant temp gauge sits around the half way mark.
I'm thinking the engine is running cool due to maybe a fault with the thermostat letting too much coolant through?
Maybe i'm just paranoid?
Thanks!
