yes but the water will always be hot when its coming out of the engine, and coolent has a max temp of what..?
having the water temp on the engine intake hose tells me how good my radiator is (i've had an experience) and.. also it moves a LOT! on the bottom hose, especially at the lights (slowly rises), thero fans turn on and it drops 20' in like 2 seconds..
I dont know, my past mechanic was a honda/alfa romeo pro, so i'm pretty sure he did the smart thing.
