3:30 Temp Gauge
Sorry for any duplication, 95 850 NA, 200k, new 190 degree thermostat. Didnt replace temp sensor (the one under the thermostat) Temp gauge reads about 3:30, maybe 3:45, not completely horizontal. No lights on, no codes coming up. They say if a hot engine's computer was reading incorrectly, (too cool) it would throw a fault code. and i've got no codes. I know it should be at 3:00, unless someone in the past has monkeyed with the guage or the gauge is just wrong. I'd like to get to the bottom of this..... Thanks, Dave

RSPI- no I dont think I've ever seen it at 3:00. Thermo is new. I took it to Autozone (and Advance) At those places they told me there was no way to read the actual temp. They did say if the temp was incorrect (if the sensor was bad) it would throw a code. No bad code = sensor is ok.....

Your car is '95 so it may not have OBD-II? They could always shoot the hose with an infrared thermo tool to read the temp on the hoses. My car is turbo so Volvo gave me the OBD-II port. I have a ScanGauge II so I read live data all the time. Not sure why my gauge drops to the ground about once per week.
