Temp gauge creeps up at motorway speeds

Postby danmetallic on Sun, 09 Apr 2023 1:24 +0000

Hi all! I’m after some advice. Temp gauge happily sits dead in the centre while driving around at anything under 40mph (incl sat in traffic etc). But as soon as I hit the motorways I’ve noticed the temp needle creeping up pretty high and then gradually returning to centre. Motorway hills will def push it up.

Coolant levels are good and radiator is clear of debris.

Any advice much appreciated. I come from the vintage van world, so I’m pretty sensitive to gauge paranoia ;-)
