Re: Coolant Temperature Gauge - Buffered Posted by Bill Homer [Email] (#3427) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Bill Homer) on Tue, 29 Mar 2016 16:07:28 In Reply to: Coolant Temperature Gauge, John Curran, Tue, 29 Mar 2016 14:47:47 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
The coolant temperature gauge on the later 9000 cars ('95 - '98?) is buffered, meaning that it will display about 1/3 scale until it's about ready to overheat. Apparently they did this because owners were getting worried about the needle swinging up close to the red zone before the fans kicked in and did their job. Result is a fairly useless gauge. My 1994 9000 still has an unbuffered gauge.
