92 degrees is the operating temperature of the thermostat. If the fan is not cutting in then you need to check for a blown fuse, or a loose relay in the engine compartment. HTH :y

Well to be honest it may have been a bit shy of 92 degrees but not much, maybe somewhere between 90 and 92, should the fans only come on when the temp gets to 92 degrees then?

The gauge is notoriously inaccurate .. to the point of stupidity !!

As long as it stays at the same place every trip its probably OK .. :)

I would imagine there will be a margin either side of 92 degrees to be honest, but if yours only just reached 92, then I would not be unduly worried at all. If on the other hand, the temp. goes beyond 95 & still no fan, then I would be exploring further. :y
