The temperature gauge of my Suzuki Khyber stays at the mark shown in the picture below. Sometimes, when in traffic jam, it climbs approx 5% further. Is this normal?

-The car has new original SGP thermostat valve.
-New water pump
-Coolant is ZIC
-Fan is auto.
-Cooling system metal pipes were changed
-Original Denso radiator cap
-Radiator was serviced a month or two ago. It has very minor seepage though, which doesn't reduce coolant.
-Engine was overhauled in Jan this year and head was surfaced.

One more thing which I want to know. You can see that the line at temperature gauge dial breaks a bit below H. What does that mean. Is it safe before that break line and dangerous afterwards?

Maybe the gauge is wrong...
Check the fan timings and speed
It should be kicking off after almost 30 seconds of operation without ac

This seems normal for vehicle in traffic but when it runs at 40-50km/h it should get to 50%.

On highways mostly fan doesn't even cycle but yes when in traffic fan activates at 90-92C and thermostat opens up at 82-83C

The temperature gauge used to sit at C, that is why I purchased new Temp Sending unit during engine overhaul.

My car also does the same..... I also verified the situation using the thermometer though temperatures remain within the range... Just gauge goes a bit over 50%. With its FF temperature sensor the needle used to stay at a maximum of 30%.

That is a relief.
Yes exactly, the temperature sending unit which came with the car used to show normal temperature as 25-30% of gauge. But in later years it used to go 10 to 15% maximum. I thought the car is running cold so changed the thermostat valve but didn't see much of a difference. So finally I had to change temperature sending unit.

I have one question. As a general user i wash the car with wax shampoo and use simple wax (cosmic).

But after months/years car got minor scratches on paint which can only be seen when light reflects from one side or in sunlight.

Kindly guide how such scratches can be removed, which product (or step wise products) to be used (pl note i dont have any machine polisher) at home with applicator.

Q1: Where should be the temperature needle when the car is running on ac with direct fan?
Q2: Is the fan of correct size or it is small?
Q3: Where is the T valve attached?

How is your car performing? Any issues?
