Hi, I have been watching my water temp with the "scangauge" now for a while and I have noticed that on warm days, the temp goes up to 198-205 and stays there. The fans are on of course, but it stays at least 198.
Is there a way to lower it?
Should it be lower?
Are the radiators not working well?
62,000 miles and the system has not been flushed, never had to add any coolant.
The dealer swears that the system is sealed and life time coolant does not need to be changed.
Thanks
