    Not normal..

    What is the outside temperature? is your fan running constantly... (you should be able to hear it if it is on.. If not get out and look).. What temp thermostat did you put in it?

    No, it is not normal. Usually it is a bad thermostat, fan staying on or coolant temperature sensor is bad.

    Check engine temp with laser temp gun make sure your not chasing a bad gauge also when u put in new t stat did you get the bottom seal in good ig they are not in straight they can bypass water and cause low water temp

    Volvo installed the thermostat I'm not sure,but if I got a heavy load it's good,temp only goes down when it's real cold and I'm on a real light load otherwise it stays up there around 190 area

    I would call the shop my guess is bottom seal not set flat can cause t stat to stick open but still work most of the time
