Post by: georgafitzgibbon on November 10, 2011, 04:39:06

Hi, my 2.0L manual, petrol i30 is only about 2 months old and dad noticed the temperature gauge was a little bit up, anyone on here know where the needle should sit on the gauge, mine is just under half way

After warm-up, my temperature gauge is always just below the half-way mark, whether stuck in traffic or cruising along.

Georga, welcome to the club. I have the same comment as the other posts. Just below half way come rain, hail or shine.

By the way, where are you from?

Not sure about a TSB but I believe it is in front of the radiator near the horn?

But that is a different temperature than what this thread is about... :confused:
