I have a work car that that does not have a temperature gauge, just a digital readout if you rotate thru the odometer/trip meter/oil life meter/etc..
yesterday I noticed while sitting and waiting to go thru a car wash that the temperature got up to 220ish degrees.. Previously I had never seen it get hotter than 195 degrees - but that was when you were at highway speeds..
I took it to a repair shop to have it looked and and was told that is 'normal' and with a 195 thermostat and that they will get up to about 230 before the fans kicks in and it cools back off.. At highway speeds and while taking it to the repair shop the temps dropped back into the 190ish ranges.
Obviously i thought 220 too hot, but it appears I was wrong.. Does that make sense that it would normally get up to 220ish?
