How Many Bars on the Car Temperature Gauge Are Considered Normal?
1 Answers
It depends on the specific situation, as different car models may vary. Generally, 2-4 bars on the car temperature gauge are within the normal range, which corresponds to a temperature between 90-110 degrees Celsius. However, some car models have only one bar on the temperature gauge, so as long as the needle is in the middle position, it is considered normal. Common main reasons for excessively high temperature gauge readings include: Coolant leaks, insufficient coolant, faulty circulation water pump, or malfunctioning radiator fan. Note: Engine coolant temperature is not necessarily better the lower it is. If the engine coolant temperature is too low, it can lead to incomplete combustion of the air-fuel mixture, reduced engine power, poor lubrication, and may even cause excessive emissions.
