Always too low, driving on open road on cold night 50 degrees C....stop and idle..temp eventually goes up to radiator thermofan switch on point (82C) drive car....back down to 50-60C again. And this was with an electric coolant pump for which I had some custom 'temperature dependant' speed control for. I got too worried about the longevity of my engine. So I got a remote mount thermostat and never looked back. My temp is always with 1 degree either side of 77C, unless I stop and idle, obviously then it goes to 82C (rad fan operating) once the system gets heatsoaked... I'm sure the engine likes to operate near the original thermostat temp - there is a good reason...you know metal expanding with temp etc... Cheers, Nick. [Report message to a moderator]
