Temperature Gauge Question

[Bugeye-Loc]

Hey All,

Can someone please advise, if the temperature gauge position is correct? 

It sits there at that same spot, after warming up, gentle driving and giving her the beans...  lol.

On my 98 V70 R, the gauge sits bang on in the middle... yet to inspect the Thermostat etc but thought I'll get an second opinion before I start looking..

Looks spot on ?

Think there’s a problem with the fuel gauge though ?

there are two ranges of thermostats you can get. perhaps lower one fitted previously.

agreed 20mins driving full to empty light on,

My water temp has always been directly in the middle so looks a little low in my opinion , my fuel usage has taken a bit of a hit tho since going rotated .

there generally common range is 82- 95c eg 95c is fully open. others are circa is 75-88c.1.0ltr engines are higher. this also depend on pressure of system as all budding scientists know 

altough Cosworth motorsort ones ae rated at 10-15c lower than common ones.
