i was waiting for a temperature thread. As the ones in the search aren't specific enough for my question.
Seen a few questions about peoples cars not heating up enough, and quite a few responses saying replacing the thermostat is the answer.
When cruising on the motorway 70 give or take a few 10mph, my temperature is really low, just between the bottom line and the bulb? is this too low? oil is around 100.
The thermostat rises to about 3/4 in traffic (which seems normal, and would suggest it is working) and then the fan comes on and it prevents it getting higher.
Having never had a thermostat on a car before, is it normal to be this low on the motorway? I figure the faster you go (to an extent) taking it easy in 5th, wont cause the engine much stress, and there is a lot of air flowing over the engine, cooling it. should I be worried about operating temps etc?
its been a while since anything broke, probably just looking for problems.
cheers
