For some unknown reason my temp guage never goes past 2 bars. If I remember correctly, normal temperature is between 2 and 3 bars, but mine usually rides somewhere between 1 and 2, even if I've had the car on the road for an hour and let it idle for 10 min. Anyone know if the thermostat is the culprit?
TIA

Buy a new o-ring, and pop it out. The temp is stamped into the t-stat, at least that was you can tell if someone put a cooler one in there.

my temp goes up to the 3rd bar, then the car vibrates a little bit for about 5-8 seconds, and then it drops down to the first bar, any one know whats up with that?

You have a fan mount loose or a fan failing?

Well, when I got the car it was fine, but now it's running cool.
