[QUOTE="Dale2010, post: 1192040, member: 20589"] Thanks Uncle Hud for the reply and information. It's good to know that these readings are well within the normal limits. Neither the owner's manual nor the service manual suggest much beyond, "if the engine is overheating..." Other than temperatures at which the thermostat should open and close, there is no other mention that I can find (in the service manual). The reason for my concern at this point is that I've never noticed the temperature gauge acting like this before (so erratically). Usually, the temperature readings might rise to the 90s but then drop smoothly back to the 60 to 80 degree C range and stay there. Never have I previously noticed it wildly jumping back and forth, thus making me wonder it this is a normal response to stop and go conditions in cooler weather. In the heat of the summer, under similar conditions, the movements seemed much less erratic, for whatever reason. Regards from the rapidly cooling N.S. [/QUOTE]
