You probably installed the 87 degree Celsius thermostat. As I understand
it, there are two available: An 80 & an 87 degree thermostat. Prior to my
engine replacement my indicator ran at about 1/3 of the scale (just below
the LED like yours) so I guess it had the 80 degree in. After the engine
replacement, the needle hovered just at the top of the LED, like yours is
doing, guess it now has the 87 degree thermo.. Don't sweat it. Enjoy the
extra heat in winter and keep on truckin'!
