I don't like constant swings in engine temperature. I would like to keep the dial permanently in the middle. My previous cars did this effortlessly.

Any suggestions? Has anyone replaced the clutched fan for an electric one?

Interesting...I have the same experience - on very hot days my needle sometimes gets to 3/4 dial as well; I also wonder whether is it normal. My previous cars used to have pretty much stable readout with only slight increase. Maybe the H3 dial is just more sensitive then other vehicles, more responsive?
