Some cars you won’t notice it because the system works well and once it slowly rises up to operating temp it doesn’t move again. Some cars you would because they are designed stupidly different. Like Dodge. I had a mechanic tell me after some research that yes indeed, the cooling fans not kicking on until the needle hit red was by manufacturer’s specs.
And then there’s my car that doesn’t have a temp gauge, a red light turns on if it’s too hot, but who knows if the light works because I’ve never seen it
I did not know that. I don’t think I’ve ever owned a car that had that or I never noticed it.
You just didn’t notice it. If you’ve owned a gasoline car, it had a temp guage, since it is a requirement.
I have a 2019 car and I think it’s now a warning light, but I do have a useless gauge for what my current mpg is that I would gladly swap with.
I hate moving gauges to warning lights. Gauges can help you troubleshoot and catch issues before they’re a catastrophe.
It’s sort of just a car thing lol
