Operating Temperature
Operating Temperature
I am sure this has been covered before, but can you guys tell me where the temperature needle should be during normal operation? I had my car detailed yesterday and when I picked it up from the detail shop the serpentine belt had slipped off. I am assuming that the pressure spray or the degreaser was so slick it just slipped off. After the car was towed to the dealership and having the belt reinstalled, the service tech did not plug the electric fan back in and the car got fairly hot on the way home. It did not over heat and I just plugged the fan back in as soon as I got to the house. My issue is now I am so paranoid about the temp gauge its not even funny. I don’t guess I ever even looked at it before, but it rides just above and below the 1/2 mark depending on whether or not the fan is engaged. That seems high to me compare to a few other cars I owned.
Is this normal?
Thanks !

Thanks, HDDP. I was wondering what the actual operating temp in degrees is. Mine operates at the halfway mark, too.
