OBC 19.7.00 - Watcha' go? doityourself

Yup. Your temp needle doesn't reach the middle?

i'll try tomorrow...but, honestly, my luck pressing that little knob has been rather hit/miss. it takes me forever to reset my oil/inspection shit.

That's like what I got if I stay on the freeway with outside temps in the 45F-55F range, peaked around 77C until I got to surface streets and stoplights.
For you other mafioso who were higher than 90C... did your coolant temps stay above 90C even on the freeway?

Mine stays for the most part at 96. City or highway driving or outside air temp don't and shouldn't, make any difference. That's what your thermostat is supposed to do....maintain a constant temp. Or, if you're running the car harder, it should drop the temp a ways. I played around with that a bit last night and saw it drop down to as low as 87.

Also, of course, running the a/c with high ambient temps in the city or slow speed twisties will raise the temp some. I've seen mine as high as 100C in those conditions because at that point the cooling system has a hard time keeping up.

If you're running temps below the mid 90's, I'd have to wonder how well your stat is working.

I suspect this is Dane's problem as well. Unable-to-push-button-in-with-left-hand-itis.

Perhaps yes, I would say the higher temperatures are present at a rate 3 times the lower temps.

Car has been kind of up and down with the rim issues I am having. Asking for grace here. I will get it done my friend. I will get it done.

I am been informed and will complete the task that's been assigned.
