The gauge is indicating that it is not overheating. Might be cheap insurance to look at a separate temp gauge if concerned.
Do the fans come on with the a/c?
Fans come on with air con. I will try leaving it idle for longer tomorrow.

Not sure if the Bluetooth obd2 things work with gc8's too.

Also worth mentioning the temperature gauge in these cars is not exactly a good measure of if your car is running too hot or cold. Mine will sit at "normal" between about 70 to 100.That's why I love using the Bluetooth adapter.
I think that would work with my year. Any idea if they're sold in Perth? Sounds like a neat thing to play with anyway!
