some advice would here would be helpful on my v6 vs the temp gauge after warmed up will go all the way up to hot then come back down then sometimes it will stay normal and sometimes it will keep going up and down has been doing it for a month now any ideas on what it could be ?
Thsat could be considered normal - in traffic the fans will only turn on when the gauge reaches about 3/4 then will cool to 1/4. If moving without stopping the gauge may stay on 1/2....maybe more information is required.
Is it a series one or two VS? The series two has a two stage fan... Before i had a major service on my car, the temp guage would rarly hit half way unless i was sitting in traffic in Drive gear. or a hot day. I had a service last week, and a new temp sensor put it, and after ten mins of driving, the guage reads half... So, this leads me to think these guages are somewhat dodgey. Your's might be buggered. but i'm no mechanic. But like hako said, this could be normal, i just don't know what normal is anymore....
i just replaced my thermostate today and now the temp gauge goes up to half then back to 1/4 when driving, before it only went to 1/4 unless idling in traffic where it went to 3/4 then down to 1/4
