Midscale only means it's 73 deg C or above.
Once it gets to 116 deg C the needle will suddenly jump up to max and overtemp red Led will illuminate That's how the gauge is designed. Possibly so the driver will suddenly notice it. Pants design if you ask me :xmas-smiley-024:

12 degrees too cool in that case and it will be costing you in performance and fuel .
Get the stat done :xmas-smiley-024:

I think your finger slipped on the keyboard Jules. Just so that everyone is clear on this, it's 75° C as T-Cut confirmed a couple of posts ago. Thanks.
Simon

After reading some of the threads in the forum I was beginning to wonder about the condition of the cooling system and fan on my car, and subsequently found this thread.
Firstly, a big thank you to TC for providing such a detailed documentation on the diagnostics. It's great to know that so much information is available, once you know how. I was concerned to read that the temperature gauge sits at the nine o'clock position irrespective of the temperature from 75°C upwards. It had lulled me into a sense of false security till I read that, as mine climbs from cold to the nine o'clock position and doesn't move. It does not appear to be of much use at all. Quote:

Brilliant thread here thanks to member Versus pointing it out to me Can I ask: 7 coolant / engine temp (A) is this just for coolant (no temp reading for engine oil)? (B) what temps should I be looking out for? (C) have this displayed whilst driving I assume? 9 battery (A) what voltage should I be looking out for? Thanks |

V6 cooling

(B) During forward motion low to mid-nineties. Creeps up to 100° when stationary and slow speed fan should then reduce it to 96°. (C) You can, yes. Simon

I had an airlock causing my diesel to overheat a mile from work. I noticed as the heater was freezing cold, so activated the ipk display. At 105° the needle went to roughly 47 mins past (ie just over 9 'o' clock) then went to about 8 mins to 12 just as I arrived at work when the display read 120°. My fan is obviously kaput but it didn't illuminate the warning light. Air lock now sorted and now saving for a new fan.
