is it possible to be overheating and your tach still show normal operating temps? the car seems like its running really hot, but tach shows normal temps. could the tach be defected?


i never see my cooling fan turn on, what to check for, fuses?

 

I witnessed this on a friend's car just this past week. Datalogging showed his car running really hot + his overflow was bubbling, but the stock cluster showed a normal operating temp. It turned out to be a cracked radiator

 

Yes it is completely possible. the stock temp gauge is crap... it will show either normal operating temp or Hot - time to get new head gasket. Do yourself a favor and get an aftermarket one.

Boo for stock temp gauges

 

 

i thought the oem one was the best for turbo setups, im running the inline pro one.

 

I was refering to the oem temp gauge. never the oem gasket.
