Hello

I need to know what a "normal" temperature reading I should expect when I look at my temperature gauge. (Celsius)

Thanks

Glen:
The factory t-stat is to fully open at 195 Degrees F. Thus, it would be normal for the engine to run between 195 and 205.

If you have questions regarding a temp problem, let me know.
