might be awhile before they respond lol but that's not normal, should sit just below the middle right above that 2nd tick mark from the bottom



if you haven't yet let the heat run on FULL for awhile since it sounds like your coolant may not be bled properly, check the reservoir before and after to see if the level drops a bit (it should)

Can confirm, it should be just above the 2nd tick mark. And it should never move, if it ever moves something is wrong.

Mine sits a little between the 2nd and 3rd mark with only slight movement on hard acceleration
