where does your water temp needle sit?

Mine sits directly at the halfway point...I think this is too warm. I never paid attention to it until after I got into an accident and the rad was slightly bent (never leaked and wasn't replaced).

What are you crazy? In the middle is normal!

I wish I had your problem...

My needle sits right in the middle... except if I drive uphill it will slowly rise a few notches... or if I'm sitting at a traffic light it will be in the middle but as soon as I take off it will slightly raise up and go down after a few seconds.

I've changed my radiator, coolant sensor, radiator, flushed my coolant twice once at 30k and just last week at 75k, changed thermostat and radiator cap... what could be it?

mine sits near the bottum for a while until it reaches half way point and has never really gone up higher. i need to change my thermostat and give a good flush though which i can hopefully get done soon.

Bang in the middle, right where it's supposed to be.
