| My office is nearly 25 Kms one way. I morning I idle for 30 secs and then drive gently. For 1 km or so engine temperature does not show any bar in display. Then after that it climbs up to 2 bars. When it climbs up it does not climb as 0 to 1 then to 2, but it always jumps from 0 bars to 2 bars.
But after it climbs to 2 bars, it remains the same way till I reach office. I run AC all time and I drive at speeds ranging from 0 to 70 (70 is very brief). Mostly the car will be in 3 or 4th gear(55%), rarely at 5th(5%) 1 and 2nd (40%)
I drive when sun is fairly out at 9 AM and when I reach office it will be 10 AM and Chennai is not a clod place either..
Is this normal? | |

| This shows that your cooling system is working perfectly and you are also driving you car well The thermostat opens at a certain temp when the motor is hot this is the moment when you see the bars on the gauge . | |

| This is extraordinary. Jump from 0 to 2 bars is normal. But temperature indicator bar not touching 4 bars is strange. My vehicle normally jumps to 4 bars at about 8kms and it could even go upto 10kms. But after a recent work at the Service Center (Sireesh) for a polishing and clutch/transmission lubrication work, it now touches 4 bars after 3 or 4 Kms. I was told that this is due to the hot weather prevalent these days. | |

| Today morning too temperature did not go beyond 2 bars . But in evenings it is 4 bars ..This may be because I drive through a different route in the evening and may be traffic is little heavy in evenings than the morning time.. | |
