Normal coolant temperature gauge range

[tolum]

Guys;

New to Porsche since 2 months now. What a great car so far. In normal 70 MPH speed and 80F outside, my temperature needle stays at the beginning of the 8 (180). When stuck in traffic, it goes to the end of the 8. Is this typical needle positions?

I did check, cooling blowers starts when needle pass the 8 from (180 F.)

Tks!

Very normal.

It's normal, maybe even better than most. Mine hangs around the 0 in 180.

I think the 987's run cooler than the 986's. Our gauge shows "175" at the 12:00 position and my needle is always pegged on the left side of the "7" when fully warmed. I have never seen it rise even near the "5".

Could the 987 actually run cooler?

I live in Phoenix, summer temps here are reguarly 110 deg. F and higher. Mine never goes more than about 1/3 of a division above 180 deg. F.
