O.E Coolant Temp Gauge in Degrees C

[Shane P]

Hello :)

I don't have an aftermarket coolant temp gauge and was just wondering what the lines on the O.E temp gauge equate to in Degrees C ? Does anbody know?

30 ---> 60 ---> 90 ---> 120 degs I think dude :agree:

Ah, so that means the the O.E fan switch kicks in a bit before 90 degrees C ? Is that correct?

Would make sense :)

yeh thats about right but the normal temp reads at about just half way between the 2nd/3rd line.mine runs at about normally a tiny bit over the 2nd line:)dose help though with a thermostat in the top hose as well:agree:

So if the 2nd line is 60, the 3rd line is 90, the normal thermostat opens at 83 and your car is just above the 2nd line, does that mean that your thermostat doesnt get a chance to open?
