Fw: funny temp guage behavior

["Sean Ford" <sean@nwh.org>]

Cool.... how's about a new thermostat? Sounds to this novice like yours is
sticking, no? At least you know your radiator is working as advertised.

> Hello all.  The water temp gauge on my S6 has changed its behavior
recently.
> Frequently it will not rise above the top of the warm up (first few marks
on
> the left) zone unless it is stopped at a light or in traffic.  Once
moving
> again it falls back to the warmup zone.  Until now it has always run
right
> on the normal line regardless of speed or ambient temp.  I took it to the
> dealer but, no surprise, they had nothing to say after checking the gauge
> and the actual water temp.  With the car in the shop it runs right on the
> normal line as mentioned above so they say there is nothing wrong.  I
know
> something is going on.  I would like to know what.  Any thoughts or
> experience?  Thanks.
