Question about temp guage

Just out of curiosity where does the needle lay on your temp gauge?
Mine is right down the middle, but most cars I've had in the past it has been just to the left of dead center

 

I would say you are good to go where it is.

On ultragauge when the temp is between 180 and 200 the factory needle is in the middle

 

Mines always right in the middle.

 

Mine is always a hair shy of dead center.

 

I think it's a buffered gauge.

 

Nothing wrong with being careful . Gauge looks fine .

 

Haha that is so funny man, I just happened to notice that last week in my truck after a little aggressive driving on the way home down a stretch and was like "Wait is my gauge always in the middle or am I on the verge of over heating..?" Glad to know it's normal!

 

Yeah it's not that accurate. The actual temp changes a lot and the needle stays the same.

 

same as mine.

 

Yeah I was warming my truck up this morning, and I could feel the air getting warmer, but the needle was still reading cold. It did not start moving until I started driving

 

I've driven lots of vehicles and they are almost always in the middle at operating temperature.

 

Electric heat if you dial up to Hi, until coolant warms up

Edit: not Lo...Hi

 

Temp gauges on vehicles haven't been "accurate" for yearsssssssssss
