1G car was running ice cold

[wolf alchemy]

So its 40 degrees tonight and on my 10 mile drive to work I noticed my temp gauge was on zero? Between the two lines on the cold side......if the gauge went from 0-10. It was more like 3. In the pic id say that's a 4.5 where the needle is.

T-stat is either stuck open, low coolant level, or you got a cold t-stat installed.

That needle should be right next to the mid point mark for a 195* T-stat ... which our motors needs.

Since the car is turbo. I thought it might be normal. Lol. Never owned a turbo.

Check it with a logger, the gauge is probably not very accurate. Mine has never moved beyond half way while ecmmlink and my aftermarket gauge say otherwise.

Ok. I'll do that tomorrow when I leave for work. Any ideas on why 1glink only synchronizes once, and never again?[DOUBLEPOST=1414917371][/DOUBLEPOST]Update. Logger shows 190 average temp during drive. So should I assume that my temp gauge sensor is dying?
