Temperature

Ive seen alot of people say that the temp gauge on the S5 N/A is half for normal operating conditions, now mine has always been (i think) about a notch above half, I attached a pic, is this okay or is my car running hot?

Looks a bit high. Always like that? I'd say try an aftermarket gauge to see what it really is.

Yeah that does look high. Mine never goes above half, maybe even sits a little below halfway now that I think about it. Do you still have the undertray on the car?

the s5 gauge is a 3 step gauge meaning,

no temp cold , a fixed temp( somewhere in the mid range) and then a oops it over heated 5 min ago pegged out tep.
