V90 - 1998 Normal Engine Temperature?

Post by Harry von Zell »

My Volvo V90 was setting off a code for cooling system.

I replaced the thermostat (broken) and, with the new thermostat installed, the Temp gauge sits on, or slightly above the 1/2 point on the gauge after the car warms up.

Is this the normal temp range or am I running hot? Engine is straight 6.

If running hot, any ideas beyond the thermostat?

Thx, Harry

What you describe sounds normal to me.
