Alex, I'll just weigh in here with a wild guess, but wouldn't the temperature
gauge readings be that sign of something wrong that you are seeking? If I
understand your post and the gauge doesn't rise much above the cold position, I
would start by checking the thermostat. If it reads high, I would start by
flushing the cooling system - assuming it's full and all.
