My M/F tends to creap up to 90 after about 10 mins or so and after driving for 20/30 mins settles down at mid point whaich is 95 only going up to 97.5 if in slow traffic or pulling up long hills at speed.

I am sure it used to reach mid point temp ( 95 ) lot quicker than of late  despite coolant being recently flushed through and new water pump fitted.

Would be nice to save a bit of fuel as agree all is not running properly until temp reached so may invest in new stat and housing.

I believe that 90 is fine.Mine doesnt very often reach 90 so needs a new stat.

What's the problem with the engine running cooler? I would have thought engine cooling would be good?
