The little woman & I have had our New liquid ( totaly) Yellow MINI Cooper for
One week !!! Luvin' it !!! The Temp guage runs about mid-way all the time,
after warming & the manual says it should stay in the lower quarter....
Imediately on starting our guage is on 1/8 to 1/4. Is there any reason for concern?
......just trying to look after our little yellow nugget !!! :smile:

hutch,
Aloha and welcome to MCO-
You have just barely passed the break in period. Keep Motorin.
I've got 6500 miles in 7 months and I live on an island 40 miles wide!
No worries about your temp gauge as long as the engine is getting cooled to keep it from
getting up too high. Small engine- it warms up fast.
