Even in this weather, my '84 1.9 wasserboxer runs with the needle 2/3 of the way from the lower mark to the blinking LED. On hills and in town it goes up to about the same spot only _above_ the LED, at which point the fan comes on and it varies up and down slightly 'til I'm on the road again. I don't recall which thermostat I put in there last year. In the winter it runs consistently down near the lower mark, even in town. I don't know what's normal. Matt
