it is important though to be sure that all of the components are in top order. it is also equally important to make sure the belly pans are in place. they are integral in maintaining negative pressure behind the radiator.

most modern cars don't even actually have a temp gauge. its digital, and is really just an overheat gauge, that the computer pins when it senses an overheat. otherwise the computer puts in the middle and no one is the wiser.
even modern cars coolant temp fluctuated the same 5-10 degrees that our cars do. it is perfectly normal, and will not hurt the engine.
