Unlikely. Laws of thermodynamics and all that. however, I still have'nt ruled out a high coolant temp at the sender due to some anomily. >But if you're sure it's the reading, then I really don't know - >senders and gauges never fail by reading a few % out - they just >fail. > >Could be that you have a voltage leak onto the sender/gauge >circuit. What does the gauge read when the engine is cold? That >is, is it offset at all? Nope, seems normal. I'm going to bleed the system yet again today just to be safe. Phil Brown
