Hey guys i have a vL series 2 calais and i was just wondering what the vL water temp gauge ranges from. As i have a different engine in my car and it likes to sit pretty much on h. Cheers

On my calais which was N/a it never went over the 2n'd white tick. Unless it was 40 degrees outside then it would reach about half. On my berlina project, it goes to half was pritty quickly then doesn't really change from there. This tripped me out originally because i didn't think they were meant to get any or much hotter. Seems better on petrol though they run with a hotter engine (in my experience). Borrowed an Infrared Thermostat last night going to check my hose temperature cause it really may be over heating.
