    My GQ never gets above a quarter only when the AC is on and then it sit at about a third.
    check water temp with a thermometer in case the gauge is faulty

    Mine usually sits between around 1/4, when i push it hard or when it gets hotit gets to between 1/2 & 3/4, thermostat opens then slowly drops down tto just under half..... but i alwaysback off and let cool down a bit more. I need to fit a proper temp gauge really instead of relying on the crappy standard on.

    Mine is a petrol though boagie, so not sure on the differences there
