Biggyinny84 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Quick question recently replace thermostat to a lower operating one, should the temperature gauge still read halfway? Because my one is reading only quarter of the way up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC93 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 If operating temp is now lower then it will be lower on the gauge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 The thermostat doesn't control the operating temperature, just the temperature at which the thermostat allows water to flow. If you remove a thermostat completely, the engine will just take longer to warm up. If you are questioning the reading then you should look to the sender unit at the base of the radiator or the gauge reading to confirm the current reading is accurate.

Ric Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I thought the temp gauge was the one in the water neck, One is ECU and one is the gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
