    Here I am again...

    Is this thing running too cold?

    See this photo of my dash --->

    I'm going to crack open the thermostat housing and see if I have a
    thermostat at all in there, or if it's just stuck open. I get pretty hot
    air from the heater, but the engine seems to stay quite cool.

    Can any other Fifth owners tell me where your temp guage usually runs?

    Thanks,
    -Steve

    The dashboard gauge is not considered accurate enough to judge this,
    especially on a car this old. If you're getting good heat, you're probably
    okay, if you're still concerned you can have the temperature checked with a
    non-contact thermometer which would tell the tale.
