What is the average temp the car should be running
65

Asked by alwen Jun 06, 2015 at 10:05 PM about the 2001 Chrysler 300M FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My dash gauge reads just below the middle. I have a diagnostic (thing that fits under the dash - Smart Trek) from AAA and it keeps telling me the car is running at 221 degrees and should be closer to 204. It is not overheating, boiling over, or any other symptom. Is this an issue?

I am told by the mechanic that the fans are working. It has a new radiator, water pump, timing belt among other things. I just wanted to get another opinion. Thank You

My cars temp reading is between 210-221. Its staying at middle, and caused my check engine light to go off. the diagnostic was to change thermostat. Which I did with a genuine Chrysler part, but temp is still between 210-221, check engine light is still on. In NJ I cant have the check engine light on.

All you have to do is add more antifreeze, coolant and that should fix the problem
