Coolant temp gauge

[MSTCBRA]

Is there any mod or part to make the coolant temp gauge not look like the car is overheating when it’s at 194 degrees? Mine is always sitting up by the A or L and it gives me anxiety!

pull the needle off and then put it back on down a little bit.

Yup. You can pull the plastic cover off the gauge cluster, get the car up to temp, and pull the needle off then reposition it where you want it. The gauge doesn’t read accurately anyway.

I can confirm that the gauge reads accurately but not through the full sweep. They are accurate in the operating temp range, which is what you want. I know this because I verify with a second source (the real-time Coyote motor temp reading in the OBD data).

Do like lmwarrior says and reposition the needle. It's quick and free.
