I to have a new motor like a few others on the board that likes to run around 230. it has never boiled over with just a 13lbs cap? However on the highway it hits 230 and creeps a little. As soon as I come to a stop hit the breaks the temp needle will drop to 190 maybe 200. I know this is not possible to just drop in temps like this so I am pretty sure gauge is the fault here. However the electric spal fan has a 180 thermo and it kicks in when the temp gauge reaches 190.
It's just a little un-nerving driving the car and seeing the gauge at 230 not sure why
Anyway could the placement of the electric probe be the issue on the gauge? It is at the back of the Wieand stealth on the driver side.
