Where does your temp gage normally reside?

Mine is usually in between 180 and the next has to the right of it. Probably closer to the hash than the 180 mark. Anyone else?

I HATE TO SAY THIS BUT MOST OF THE TIME WHEN I DRIVE AROUND I DON'T EVEN DRIVE LONG ENOUGH FOR THE NEEDLE TO HIT THE 0 ON THE 180.... . SO I TAKE IT OUT FOR CRUISES OFTEN TO MAKE UP FOR THAT! WHEN THE CAR IS FULLY WARNED UP IT STAYS IN THE 180 MARK,NORMALLY THE NEEDLE IS ON THE 8 AND WHEN I START TO RIDE IT SOME IT WILL BARELY TOUCH THE 0 ON THE 180.

Mine is at that range as well.

Hi,

Don't discount the effect that ambient temperature has on your gauge readings. On cold days, your temp gauge should read slightly lower, slightly higher on warmer days...

Sounds like mine, With the AC on it sits at the 180 mark. No AC it peaks out slightly to the right of the 180 mark.

I let my gauage sit in the car, next to the other guages

Sits between thr 8 and 0 of 180. Not sure how "sensitive" the guage is meaning, it could be that unless the car hits 220 degrees the guage might not move from this "180" position. Manufacturers do this so people don't complain everytime they see the guage moving up and down, which is more realistic given the demands one puts on the car may change during their drive.

Same as mine.
