normal temp guage position mini s

[al5774]

i was told all mini s should be rihgt in the middle. my new 06s is being sent it for repair for guage going way over,but when was running normally was just over the middle position on the guage . is it true all mini s superchargd should run exactly at middle ?

Mine runs bang in the middle of the guage ('06 build supercharged MCS) and my old R50 MC did just the same. Both MIN's got up to operating temperature quickly and then stayed rock steady at that temperature.

We can count ourselves fortunate that our MINI's were some of the last made to actually include a temperature guage

Mine runs in the middle as well (its a 56reg R53).

Same here, bang on dead centre.

My GP runs about dead centre most of the time but creeps up about 4mm in traffic on a warm day.

ok i think ifigured out-i was reading the guage the wrong way . but what changed is the car always went to middle very quickly-minute or 2 .now is moving to cold side(bottom right )where before it was going to wrds middle right away. so say in 80 degree weather how long should stay in cold position ?
thanks
