[QUOTE="speeddemon2000, post: 15213167, member: 14576"] First thing the gauge on the dash is useless. You can press and hold the trip meter with the key in the on position with the car off to get a diagnostic screen in your odometer screen, that way you can see the actual temp. Second the caps on the radiator overflow tank have issues. Try replacing the cap. You can get one at autozone for like $10 to $15. Third if you ever overheat carefully after the car has cooled down pop the coolant crossover tube and make sure you top of the system from there. You will never get the air out of the system without doing this. Once you overheat you are going to have air in the system most likely. Things to look for if you suspect a bad head gasket. Coolant in the oil, Oil in the coolant. I have seen also seen coolant pushed out of the overflow tank cap under boost when I had a bad head gasket. [/QUOTE]
