The markings on the temp gauge are somewhat misleading as the 180 mark is way to the left of the actual number. My needle sits just on the left edge of the "0" in 180 - I believe this equates to approximately 210 degrees Fahrenheit - which I believe is "normal"...
Mine also sits on the left edge of the "0." It's never been higher than that in any traffic situation. The only time it started creeping past the "0" was the day before my water pump and expansion tank let lose.
