Need more info. Pops.
Driving, parked ??? If driving, minimum 5 miles. If parked, min 10 mins. ( Maybe a little more.) When parked you could wait for the fan to start running and when it turns itself off, then check the temperature. If your car normally runs with the gauge at 9 o'clock this usually means everything is OK. Colv. |

Could have the wrong stat in it by somebody in the past. Won't hurt your engine but if you want it hotter you'll have to fit a different stat. John.D. |
