Engine temp at highway speeds now drops! V70-XC70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be pat on  Mon Dec 3 16:27 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Ever since new, my 98V70T5Ms (42k) engine temp gauge once warmed up and horizontal has never moved no matter what I do or where I go. This past weekend on a trip to NYC, I noticed for the first time that when I get up to highway speeds and stay there, it drops a lot (45degrees down?). Is this normal? Or is my thermostat stuck open and the engine is getting to much cooling? Just curious since it's never moved before.

thanks

pat

Yup, get the thermostat replaced.

Not normal. Replace your thermostat.
