Not that it matters a lot as the factory gauge is only an indication that the temperature is somewhere within in the normal operating range IE it is not a linear scale temperature indicator

FWIW the factory indication hardly moves a needles width from it's "happy place" when the actual temp on mine varies from 85 ish to 104 ish it starts to climb around 105 and hits the top of the range at 110.

Hiya mate,

Over here in sunny WA I can see 98 idling in the shade at midnight :hpfredgeorge1:

Nah, just joking. However mine can easily drift up into the low hundreds in summer when it's 40 plus ambient temp and I'm towing the Camper.
