Listees- Now that I put the new lower temp fan switch in as well as 80 degree t-stat in my 84 1.9L westy (yeah, I am paranoid about overheating), I am wondering where the temp guage (on dash) ought to be. Depending on outside temp, where is the normal zone and when should we start to worry and put on heaters or pull off? I have noticed while driving around in 60-70 degree weather that the needle is right at or just barely to the left of the LED in the center. In stop-and-go situations it goes up about halfway between LED and far right of guage. I have taken some steep climes and seen the needle almost at the far right ----scary! Does all this sound normal on a 1.9L wbx westy? Thanks for indulging by compulsion to know more! Les ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
