Where does your coolant gauge normally read when at operating temp? I changed my motor and in the process I broke the temp sender. No problem, I went to the parts store, bought a new one, kept going. My gauge use to read on the lower left tick mark and it stayed there. Now it reads in the middle. I've changed temp senders 3 times and still the same reading. The cars not hot because I stuck a thermometer in the radiator and used a infra red temp gun. Radiator temp is 170-175. Motor temp is a solid 180. Just wondering what everyone elses gauges read.

 

mine reads at about 1/4 most of the time. And Holy Crap!!!!! That is a huge frickin tubo!!!!!

 

mmm... turbo. my gauge reads about 1/3, lately it's been hard getting it past the second dash on the cold side..

 

mine reads about 1/4 to 1/3, and HOLY that turbo is about as big as the engine.

 

Mine reads almost evenly between the final cold setting and the first marking.


....OOH! Big...shiny...turbo! me like!!

 

1/3rd from the left or so....

 

I run Autometer and its at 190. My God that is a big turbo!!!!!! What is the guesstament on HP with that monster.

yeah im at 175-180

 

so it looks like the old temp sender was not to good if 3 others say different. do you think the engines running hot, jeez it should with,,, is that a turbo charger ? ha ha
thats huge !! is that the engine in your car ? could always get a better radiator and maybe give the oil cooler a good cleaning, even a 2ed gen oil cooler may bring down temps for you.
