Re: What is the best Thermostat temp?

["Mr. Daniel P. Grady" <dgrady@mail2.nai.net>]

Another possible reason: Perhaps the range that the gauge reads on Audis is
a smaller range than on most other cars. If so, a change of only a few
degrees on a gauge that covers a 100 degree range would appear to be a
greater change than it would appear on a gauge with a 175 degree range. The
temp gauges are not marked on my Audis with anything other than a C and an H
so I don't know its range.
This is just a guess with no BTDT.
