My water pump and timing belt was changed about 6 months ago (at the time when I purchased my 944). It would run between the 1/2 and 3/4 mark.

* The fan would cycle-on when the temp reaches the 3/4 mark. So, this tells me that the fan sensor is working.

* I checked the coolant level (cold engine) a month after the water pump was installed. The coolant level was slightly below the "minimum" level. I topped her up (below the maximum level). Now....4 months later....I see that the coolant level is back slightly below minimum.

* I checked compression...around the 180s to 195s....so don't think that there is a leak in the head gasket

* Checked engine visually....no leaks of coolant whatsoever on the block or shopfloor.

Should be concerned about the temp always being around the 1/2 to 3/4 mark?
