Just keep an eye on things and on cold starts, just double check the level in the radiator.  |
Thanks Nate, I am kind of set on the gauge being funky. I will stop worrying about it. If coolant starts disappearing I'll be concerned or if the gauge spikes. I just wanted to make sure the gauge sitting higher wasn't a sign of some coolant issue or it running hot. I also might just replace that one wire sensor see if that makes me feel any better.
So anything above 205 constant would be considered out of normal then?
