I do not know much about cars, but I think that my engine is getting too hot. My coolant temperature gauge stays a little above the middle point, not near the red line. My add-on water temperature gauge usually reads 210 degrees, but I wouldn't say that the gauge is trustworthy.
After going for a short drive (less than a mile), and parking the car in the garage it feels hot, and I can smell the smell of a "hot engine" - not burning oil smell.
My coolant level in the reservoir is just a tad bit below full hot and right on the "full cold" level.
I plan on flushing out the radiator/cleaning the radiator tomorrow.
Is my engine too hot or am is it just my personal thinking?
I drove the car over 20 miles in 80 degree weather today and had no problems.
