temp gauge on agu

[aaran]

what should the temp gauge be on an agu once warm?

mine only ever seems to hit dead on 90 degress once been run and sat in traffic for a few mins, when im driving it it seems to be between 80-85 degrees, never on 90?

change your thermostat

I wouldn't worry until it goes OVER 90!

Should sit dead on 90 as soon as its up to temp.

As said new stat time.

as has been said replace your thermostat and also maybe worth replacing the coolant temp sender (cts) at the same time as its cheap enough and is literally a 5min job if that

used to drop off when driving, but not anymore!
