weird observation
 
I own 2 HHR 2.4's. A road I travel on a lot has a sweeping right hand curve. I usually drive with the engine temperature display on. On both of my HHR's if I take that curve fairly fast the temperature display drops by 2 degrees after I go thru the curve. ??????

In both directions? A wind shift thru the grille? I’d just hang on and enjoy the ride a fluctuation of a few degrees won’t hurt.

Yeah im not worried about it I just thought it was strange. Other cars may do the same the hhr is the first car ive had with the digital readout

I had a 72 Dodge Dart, it would pop the windshield out if it got grip shifting from 2nd to 3rd. Now that I worried about. But the temp shift , in the HHR it could be a number of things.

2 degrees is nothing - ya gotta stop overthinking things Cliff. And stop staring at that temperature digital readout.

Plus. The temp readings go in 2 degree increments(ex.185, 187 189) so not that big of a deal.

Only odd thing about those 2 degree changes is it will do a 1 degree change from 189-190. Then go 192,194 etc.

You are not taking that turn anywhere near fast enough if you have time to look at the temp gauge... :cool:

Are you backing off on the throttle around the turn ??

Right on.

Ok, how about on the return trip, which makes a left turn out of that sweeper? ;)

Lol. Im sure other cars probably do similar things they just dont have a digital temp readout.
