Temperature Gauge Reading

The temperature gauge on my 300 always seems to read/sit close to maximum. Although I haven't had any cooling issues so far, some how I'm sure the gauge shouldn't read quite so high.

 

Can anyone advice what may be the cause and possible cure for this??

 

Thanks

    The temp guage is normally one of the most reliable ones out of problem guages.

    I would check the temp sender in the feed pipe for corrosion on the connector plug, there are 2 senders in the same pipe, 1 for the ecu ( yellow cap) and 1 for the temp guage.( black) If they are clean then, you might have a duff gauge. I have a spare i can send you if it is the gauge, but more likely to be the temp sensor.

    I did wonder about a sender but thought they would be in the block or one of the heads. Which pipe are they located in Graham?

    They are on the top of the two hard pipes in the front middle of the engine.
