Have your instrument cluster checked. The temp gauge is often one of the first things to go.

Press the recirc button(lloks like a curved arrow) and the up arrow (for the fan speed) at the same time. The display will change to "1 C", release said buttons.Now, take the a hold o'tha thermostat **** and crank itup until the display reads 49 C, and press the recirc button again. Now you will be displaying coolant temp in celcius. If you use the search function for like coolant or overheating, the actual links for waks wide world and such are in there to give you a table for what each "# C" read out gives you.

Btw, is there any wayto keep this setting permanantly? Cause its quite annoying to do this procedure each time you start up the car. TIA

Wow thanks, i tried it this morning and i was able to monitor the temps. Approaching my destination, it would read anywhere from 86-88C. This is in the morning with about 40 degree weather btw. I hope when summer comes i wont see outrageous temps.

learning this trick was terrible for me. i find myself constantly worrying about the temp and monitoring it all the time. then i get nervous everytime i creep up on 100*... better off just letting it be. you'll know when your needle creeps up.
