During the winter my gauge doesn't budge. In summer it never goes about 160 degrees. I wouldn't worry about it until the weather gets warmer. Mine was defective originally and I had to replace the sender.

They are right,
Summer time it will go up, otherwise it's quite stable...maybe good intercooling ?

Since you acquired the car, has the needle ever fluctuated?

To check if the circuit is working, disconnect the sending wire from the temperature sender located on the underside of the intercooler reservoir. Then touch the ring terminal on the end of the wire to ground. The needle should immediately sweep all the way to the right. If it doesn’t, there is an open in the circuit somewhere, in the wiring, at a connection point or possibly in the gauge itself.
