Post new water pump question....

Temp gauge is reading just a little right of straight up when warm.....is this normal? Also, hot and muggy inside car. was not like this before. The shop is like "well bring it on in....." Any info I should go in with....just scares me that interior of the car is getting warm when it did not before....any ideas..No fluid loss....

Thanks...

Hot & muggy inside car? Strange. Leaky heater core (but no fluid loss)? Failing cats?

What's getting hot inside the car? Floorboards? Back of the seat area. Air vents?

Clean out your front air intakes and radiators. May need to remove your bumper cover for best access.

Temp gauge reading a little to the left or a little to the right of 12oclock is within "normal".
