Frs temperature gauge question
 

Hi guys it's me again

Got a small question

So today I went to go pick up my girlfriend from work and my car is warmed up, the gauge is reading just a bit under the normal

So I park the car and let it idle so it can warm up more while I wait for my girl to come out

But then I notice the Guage gets lower ( first line after the c) instead of warmer

Is this normal?

As soon as my gf came out, I went to drive the car and let it warm up to normal temperature.

Now I'm inside the car and the reading stays at normal.
And now going lower

Thanks guys

Totally normal. Mine does the same thing, particularly when it's below freezing outside. The reason is because the engine really isn't at normal operating temp unless it's under load (IE when your driving) so the temp can drop back down a bit when it's just idling.

Factory temp gauges are terribly inaccurate anyways, so it's nothing to worry about.

Ah ok thanks A lot for the explanation man

Appreciate it, glad that it's normal

I noticed my gas gauge goes down when I drive. Is this normal too?

I notice you are being sarcastic

Is that normal too?

Sadly yes. Sometimes it's the only fun I have.

Thermostat should keep the temp in the normal range after the initial warm up. If it's cold outside it regulates the amount of coolant that's being circulated through radiator. So unless it's so cold outside that the engine can't get up to the working temperature with fully closed thermostat, it seems that the thermostat is not working correctly.


With the car being so new though, that seems very unlikely, so I'm not sure what it could be.

Well I did not let the car warm up all the way and it was very cold yesterday (-27 degrees Celsius )

But after I drove for a bit and let the car warm up,it didn't do the problem again
