The temp gauge sits right in the middle. I don't trust it though because sometimes it'll get stuck at the centre position so when I start the car the next day it'll say it's already warmed up but when I tap on the dash cluster it'll drop back down to the start position.
This is the plastic bung I am talking about.
And
THIS is the kind of that I thought went in there?
I distinctly remember there being a sensor like that in my other Volvo.
I know the temp gauge is most likely stabilised so it'll sit in the middle whether or not it's say +/- 10c of whatever is the optimum reading but what is the right coolant temperature?
