My temp. gauge always read right at the mid-range mark. But I can tell it's running hot. It proved so the other day, my radiator blew off the upper hose neck. Probably from some shade tree mechanic making the hose clamp as tight as he could. So a new radiator and upper hose is on the way. I took out the old radiator and inter-cooler. While out I cleaned the inter-cooler and condenser, they were very filthy. So when all the parts come in I will get everything back together. I hope that a new radiator, thermostat, and cleaned inter-cooler and condenser will solve my A/C problems. If not at least I won't be worrying about my car overheating and I guess that's more important than my personal comfort for now.

Is there a way for our temp. gauge to more accurate? It seems that just as long as it's in a certain range the gauge always read at the mid range mark. Even after my radiator blew my temp. gauge still read at the mid range mark. I pulled over because of the low coolant light came on.
