There has been much discussion on the position of the temperature gauge
needle in relation to the LED but what temperature is considered
normal? I have just installed a VDO water temperature gauge and the
engine runs at 200 degrees at light load (needle just above LED while
the old waterboxer read just below the LED). If I run at more than
3200rpm on the highway water temp goes into red although I haven't had
it on the highway since the new gauge has been installed to see an
actual temperature readout on the VDO gauge. What is the maximum safe
water temp?
