Re: Thermostats and Thermostat Housings
On the AC/Heater head unit, hold the Up and Down Fan Buttons until a -00- appears. Then use the Up or Down button to change the number to -16. Hit the center Fan button. The AC/Heater display will now show the engine coolant temperature in Celsius. In my experience, with an aluminum radiator and 180 degree thermostat, it should stabilize somewhere around 90-95 degrees C.

On the 95' you can press GAUGES on Dash and get Digital Readout of Oil Temperature and Coolant Temperature in deg F on the SPEEDO Cluster (I think where TRIP Information is shown as I recall). Pretty Cool I would say And YES.....the Coolant Temperature on my 95' stabilizes right around 90-95 deg C on a 90+ deg day with a Fluidyne Radiator installed
