So the gauge I just installed reads super low.
Like 150.
The pic below is after 36 min of driving- two 18 min legs with about 30 min "cool down" between. This was on an 85 degree day at 1:00 pm.
Of course we all know the temp actually goes up after you shut down.
I've seen it read 180 about 20 min after shut down.
This is the one that I loosened the probe mount in the back of the gauge.
Before driving, I loosened it again, and tried to twist it as far as I could to get the needle to read higher. It changed about 5 degrees. After that episode I came to the conclusion that was not the way to adjust calibration, and therefore probably wasn't out.
So what gives?
