hi guys~
does anyone knows why temp gauge needle points at low?
i thought it should stays at middle or bit lower than middle.
please help!!!!!

 

Has it always been this way, or did you just buy the car and don't know?

 

x2 and Does the gauge even move?

Check the thermostat.

 

hi guys~

here is my problem. i got a 08 acura tls, recently, i found my engine temperature gauge points kinda low. so, i went to local dealership and they respond to me that it should be fine due to its in the tl spec range(160F~212F), but the thing is i did have gauge settles at little bit higher than 8th dash on the gauge when i first purchase, now it settles at 6 1/2th dash. can anybody give me a idea why? or did anybody have a simular problem before? help me plz~~~~~

 

Mine's steady since day one. Not sure I follow about 8th vs 6 1/2. Have you noticed any decrease in fuel economy? You might see that if the car is running way too cool. If the car is running within the spec then it will be a tough battle to have them replace your thermostat under warranty. My guess is your thermostat has drifted. Any mods done?

 

thank you for the reply adobeman, i didn't do any modifications. i know it will be very tough to fight about and replace...fuel economy looks no big difference than before...

 

it was settled at 8th dash when i first purchase, now it's at 6th 1/2. what's is wrong with my thermostat?

 

anybody has any idea?? please help!!!!! T.T
