Just bled and flushed my coolant system. left the car idling at 1k radiator kicked in at 3/4 and the engine temp remaind at just under 3/4 idling, from my reading this is correct?

If the engine is up to temp at a standstill then thats slightly hot but nothing to worry about

Take her for a run and it should stay around 1/2 :y:

My fan kicks in at just over half on the temp gauge.

Need to run the new fluids around the system tbh but the engine temp should drop after the engines done a few miles with the new stuff :y:
