My car runs at 195 at highway speeds. Will spike to 200 climbing hills oraccelerating under heavy load. Highest I've seen is 203 pounding up a...
Scan Gauge is one option or you can get a Bluetooth OBD2 port adapter for $20 and monitor all sorts of things through the Torque app on your...
Is the car actually running hot? Do you monitor coolant temp? It sounds like you do have a fan issue but those are more for airflow for the a/c...
I just did this the other day on the Prius :D
Well that's a new one for me. Wear indicator for a strut showing :eek:
