oil temp gauge
Hi,
My oil temperature gauge has never been above 80 degrees C on motorway driving, in the city it's closer to 70 C. It's that normal? (Or what is it supposed to show?) Also, can anyone tell me where I find the switch for the boot light? (as the bulb seems to be fine) thanks, Christian, Denmark 1994 Alfa Romeo 155 2.0 TS |

(Or what is it supposed to show?) I assume you mean water temp gauge? I've never found mine to be particularly accurate in terms of what they're measuring, I just keep an eye on whether they make any extreme movements IYSWIM. ie, my 164 stays constant at about 70° and my Dad's at 90° but I reckon the engines are running at much the same temperature, just one of us (probably me) is badly calibrated. > Also, can anyone tell me where I find the switch for the boot light? > (as the bulb seems to be fine) > > thanks, > Christian, Denmark > 1994 Alfa Romeo 155 2.0 TS |

I did mean the oil temp gauge. The water temp gauge is stable at 90 C. thanks, Christian |
