Another FBH question - coolant temperature ?
Does anyone know what temperature the FBH heats the coolant up to and what that should correspond to on the dash temp gauge.
I ran my FBH yesterday morning for 40mins before getting in the car and was suprised to see the temp gauge at just over 1/4 before i started the engine. outside temp was -4
I am sure that the water temperature was alot higher last year when outside temperatures were around the same.Duncan

If I'd known I was going to be so thirsty this morning I'd have drunk more beer last night.

no idea of the actual temperature but the temp gauge at about 1/3 to 1/4 scale is what I get after 30 mins
