Well I just changed my timing belt, water pump, belts, EFK and thermostat this weekend and now my coolant temps are reading a bit higher. The gauge is just off of top dead center. I'm sure it's not that big of a deal but I'm wondering why all of a sudden it's running a bit high now. Any ideas?

I just did the same thing this weekend. I haven't logged anything over 207*F

with the stock fan, it's always running and pulling air through the radiator.

With the EFK, it only turns on when it gets hot enough, so a lower temp fan switch is a good idea. I got mine from Neuspeed.

what was the P/N on that?

which has the fan always running when it's at operating temps.

I thought the stock fan was only supposed to come one when the car was in traffic? Right now I have the fan running all the time but I didnt think that was the best thing to do. Thought it should only come one when the car is not moving in traffic. Maybe you can help me understand this a bit.

it's just that my gauge is showing a bit high. Maybe I knocked the sensor a bit or something.

It's on a clutch like your AC compressor and only comes on when temps get above a certain point.

so its spinning %100 of the time, how fast relative to the drive belt driven pulley is dependent on the temps

there are two versions, a 2 pin and a 3 pin. Neuspeed should be able to tell you which one you have.

This is happening to everyone lately. AIR! AIR! AIR! Keep bleeding your cooling system :-)
