Avg running temp of your 300D???

[jkinsey]

My seems to be running a little on the high end. Just curious. Mine is at 200 degrees F.

My temp needle usually splits the top on the 8 in 80, sometimes the outside edge of it. I guess it's 82 to 85 celsius, 179 - 185 Fahrenheit.

same here. i just drove 1000 miles in temps ranging from 50 to 85 F and the temp gauge hovered around 80 C

[GreenWagon]

around 82-95.. depends on how hot it is outside.. on a regular day it sits just above the 80* mark.. while on heavy traffic it goes up to aboud 90-95.

I don't know if I'm lucky or not but my temps are always below the 80 C mark. I est. it to be around 70 C. I even put in a newer T-stat ( 80 C ) a few months back and it sits at 70C all day long.

Between 85-90

Yep, Same here...regular city driving shows the temp to be about halfway between 40 and 80 (variations dependent on outside temperatures, traffic, etc.), but made a run last weekend to a lake about an hour away and actually pushed it a little...temp never got above 85...

Likewise

Mine is always 82-85*c and reaches that within 5 minutes of driving or ~10 minutes at idle.

I put new thermostat and coolant, but still it does not go more than 60 by the time I get to work (highway driving). It went around 70 in the city, though. I start suspecting that gauge or t-sensor might be faulty.
