Temperature Gauge
What's the average on these cars in say, not so hot weather? The car doesn't over heat but the gauge stays in the middle and the fans seem like they have a hard time turning on, As in, they don't turn on til the temp is beyond the middle point. Is that normal for a 98 xj8? I know on my BMW thats normal. lol
The gauge is of no use as it's slow to reflect a problem until it's too late. I monitor mine via bluetooth & Torque Pro app.

Or you can opt for a fellow forum member's gauge upgrade kit.
Protect your engine! Ever notice the needles on your gauges just sit at mid-scale once the car warms up and never move? Did you know that your coolant temperature and oil pressure gauge (where used) are placebos? They only indicate after a fault occurs, which may be to late to get early warning of an engine related failure! RealGauge is a tiny computer module which will allow your factory gauges to read true temperature and oil pressure.

RealGauge includes additional features like an audible fault alarm and maximum temperature and minimum oil pressure history replay.
