My SC300 stays right at the half-way point of the scale when the outside temp is above 100 degrees or below freezing.

hmm so i guess it is normal....

For me, a properly calibrated scale and needle should be calibrated so that the needle is horizontal or vertical when the value being indicated is "normal." That way you can read at a glance.

hah well, either our temp readers are working and on normal heat range, or they can be stuck on stupid..pleas let it not be that!!!!

For me, the needle stays a little bit above the third mark from the bottom, on both cars. On SC400 after driving a while it goes back down to the third mark, but it stays in the same spot on GS400.

So it would be more like this:

That's normal, all the toyota and lexus i ever own have their neddles stay in that position all the time.

Both of my SCs temp stay in the middle. I drove it to CA with AC/80mph without any problem. It is normal for all SCs. If you scare just take off the cover, it will reduce a little.

thank you smark..thats exactly waht mine is...i guess...its normal..thanks bro


btw what happend to you undefeated after you put ur cold air on?

SMARK

It looks slightly below half-way when viewed from the normal driving position. But if you move your eye level even with the gauge, then it's half-way.
