If I have AC on and driving in traffic it's always sits at the end of 0
Is it high? what temperature is the mark after 180?
Thanks

Mine runs at exactly the same temps you have. The temp mark after 180 is 215. The temp guages are notoriously innacurate.
If you have a 2000 or older, you can read realtime coolant temp on the climate control display. Press the recirc and arrow up button simultaneously for 5 seconds, the screen that shows the set temp will now show a number followed by the letter c. Use the +/- buttons to scroll to 6c, press the center vent button and it will display coolant temp in centigrade. Download a F/C conversion chart from the interwebs annd you will see how much hotter the coolant is really running from the temperature indicated by the temp guage.
