I'm just wondering, how high should the tempeture gauge go in my V70. It is a 1997 2.5 (2.4) 10 valve. It was 24 degrees outside today and the car was sitting in a cue of traffic for a long time (police had one of the main roads closed because a little girl got knocked down (hope shes ok)). Anyway it went up towards the red but I've been told thats fine. It didn't go into the red and the fan came on and cooled it down again. This already happened last week on a long drive as I posted a thread. This time was different though, lots of coolent, as I say temp came down again with fan and no fluids lost. I'm thinking now possibly thermostat, I then read tonight someone else is having that problem. I had it pressure tested and so on after the last time but the one thing we all failed to check was the thermostat.
Would there be anything else could do this? And how high hould the gauge go at its warmest?
