After driving for at least 35 minutes at various speeds, the temperature
gauge does not reach the 80C mark. The outside temp. is approx. F 30. The heat
coming out of the vents is warm, not very warm. Could this indicate the
thermostat is working properly?
Your temp gauge should read ~85 deg C (185 deg F) after 4-5 minutes of
driving or the gauge OR the thermostat is bad. The thermostat is MUCH
more likely. Thermostats were expected to be replaced every few
anti-freeze changes (or ANY time the engine overheated for any reason)
and are NOT expensive to replace.
