Default Temp Guage????

I have heard that the stock temp guage is not accurate. Can someone tell me a little bit more about this

It's completely inaccurate. Don't use it for anything. The only time it's accurate is when the engine is warming up. After that it just sits straight up at 210, regardless if the coolant is 160 or 240.

I just received my autotap. Guess I will get to see what the real temp is. Thanks for the info! <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0">
