Just woundering what you guys have on your TR/TS 2.6 4cyc engine.

After putting in my cleraned and fixed radiaitor I also replaced hoses and a brand new thermo stat. I am finding the gauge is reaching 1/2 way and staying there with both fans turning off and on while idle or at lights and also 1/2 way while on the high way were as before it dropped to nearly 3/4. Also this new thermo stat was a little odd as it's off centre they all were on the rack.

1/2 seems about right mate, shouldnt have any worries there....or i could be completly wrong as mine usually sits at halfway too lol :confused:

i have a '94 TR, 2.6L 4cyl (manual, if you wanted to know) and after it's warmed up, the temp guage really doesn't move at all, it just sits at about half way.

whether i drive hard or drive like a granny doesn't really make a difference, or whether i'm driving in town, highway or hills and stuff. temp guage just sits at about half.

Ok does sound normal then.

By the look of things it still had the original thermo stat never been replaced.

my mitz magna tr 92

mines always half way, some times goes down alittle but rarely ever, when i didn't take care of the car last year, it was overheating a alot a few times:rant: , its only happen 2 times.

dude it is always supposed to be on halfway ur thermos kick in wen it is heating up too much and keeps it at that temperature... its normal trust me

I remember when I first got my 93' TR it always sat at the centre but you could smell the engine being really hot. After speaking to a few people (the majority of responses were "Halfway is normal") I just lived with it. Although I found it strange the car would be immediately half way as soon as I started it. Went to a radiator place, check the radiator, there was that much crap inside you couldn't see anything, and my overflow, would overflow all the time! After a clean and etc. The car's temp gauge now starts from the bottom and needs to be warmed up a bit before driving.

Half Way is normal, don't worry!

Yes, it should sit on HALF all the time, but if air con on on a hot day, dont be suprised if it moves up and down a bit.

:cool: i have a TS magna and when i am traveling either a short distance or long
the gage alwas reads half way by the sounds of things it's a magna thing!

1/2 way is right.

It's all cool just wanted to know before I went on a long trip last weekend apart from a slight pinging which turned out to be retarded timing wasn't checked after the timing chain and guides were replaced.
