Water temp at radiator intake/outtake hoses
2014 C250
General purpose question. My car runs normally at 82 to 84 degrees (one mark above the 80 mark). The last two days the temp has been dipping as low as 70 degrees F after the car has been thoroughly warmed up. So I'm thinking its a stuck open thermostat. So it got me curious. What would the hose temp going into and out of the radiator be if using a laser temp pointed at said hoses with the the car idling and gauge reading as mentioned?
I'm currently getting 148-160 degrees F .
Thanks
