well your car needs a new body kit because that contributes to the temperature of the car
The 1999 Cadillac normal coolant temperature gauge reading should be 180 degrees. A 195 degrees thermostat could be used, causing the temperature gauge to read 195.
The gauge on the far right side of the gauge cluster is your engine temperature gauge. The normal operating temperature is at the half-way mark. If the needle raises above the 3/4 mark then the car is overheating. A light will come on also if it begins to overheat.
Is vehicle actually overheating? Could be a bad temperature sending unit or gauge Check temperature with a thermometer If thermostat does not open vehicle will overheat
Yes, because your vehicle will overheat.
Your car is starting to overheat or your thermostat is going out. Get it checked.
Does vehicle overheat rapidly? Do you have heat? Does temperature gauge show that vehicle is running cold
If you temperature gauge is going up and down then you may have a problem with your sensor. You should take your car to a professional to ensure that you don't overheat your car.
It will usually run with a gauge temperature of around 200-210 degrees.
Because the temp gauge is not giving you the temperature of the water/steam in the radiator. You may have a bad head gasket or a cracked head causing the coolant to have that boiling effect.
Its just there to let you know that the engine is running at a normal temperature and isn't overheating. If your engine starts to overheat, you can tell then do something about it. Pull over and check, let it cool before proceeding to a garage, before it is too late and the engine is destroyed.
i just put in a new radiator and now temperature gauge reads high but their are no leaks
change your ECT sensor. It tells your vehicle if it is too hot to operate.
