My 855T has not had the plastic lower air scoop pan since I bought it 10 years ago. Temp gauge always hovered at mid point, winter or summer, highway or city. I found a new scoop at a U pull it and as soon as it was on the car, diverting air into the radiator, the temp gauge will only get to midway at a prolonged idle or long uphill climb. Otherwise it's about 1/4 of the way up.

Does that plastic scoop really do that much to aid cooling? Or did my T-stat pick that day to go south? I have a new thermostat I'll install this weekend, but it sure is a coincidence.
