Where does you temperature gauge needle sit?

Post by Zebedee »

The needle on the temperature gauge on mine sits here most of the time in everyday driving (no motorway work).

Its sitting a little higher now its running on LPG than it did on petrol which makes me think its maybe running a little lean at higher revs. :?

Has anyone got a proper (with oC markings) temperature gauge fitted so they can say what temperature the VW dash gauge actually reads?

LPG does not work like petrol when lean
you don't get a hotter burn... just a weaker bang

I would suggest as the weather is warmer it just sits a little higher now
