I just finished installing an 82 degree thermostat, gauge sensor and 82 degree fan switch along with a flush and fill of ZEREX G-05. (thanks for the recommendation). I had suspected a sticking thermostat.
Over the summer, the gauge was sitting at 9:30-10:00 in traffic or whenever I was using alot of boost. Just before I changed the thermostat, the gauge spiked almost into the red, but the engine did not seem to be that hot. The next day, it was at 7:00 all the time (after warm-up). After the service, it sits at 7:00-7:30 and the fan cycles as it should. Is this too cool or should I be happy with the performance of my cooling system?
