Engine Temp

[terrynham]

I recently had a very bad radiator leak, in my 94 Camry.
so I spent AU$300 to replace the entire radiator....

that being said, the temperature gauge on my dashboard is slightly different to what i remember. before it read exactly between Hot and Cold.....sounds very normal.
but now, it reads just a bit closer to Cold......

is this something to worry about? or is it just me being paranoid?

I havent felt any difference in power or any difference in fuel consumption.

My temp in my car, a 94 always read abit under 1/2. Anyways, the cooler your engine is, the better isn't it?

Not necessarily.

Theres a optimal operating temperature.

Mine's the same, I think that's the average.

It might also be your thermostat... This is a very easy and cheap part to replace btw. But I wouldn't really worry that much if I were you.
