Car may be running hot

[almaj2006]

Hello,
I was driving my car a short distance today. Got out to go into a freinds house and when I went pass the front of my car I put my hand near the grille and It felt rather warm maybe even hot. Is this normal? The car was recently inspected. Also on the car instumentaion panel it says its warm its right in the middle of hot and cold.
Thanks

Its fine if the car aint overheating i wouldn't worry bout it nothing. Its getting warm out again so yeah the car will feel hotter than usual.

o ok its in the middle and in the inspection they said everything was fine

Sounds like it everything is fine, since your temp gauge is clearly indicating that the engine is not overheating.

I would still check the coolant level and the radiator as well though just to make sure.

open the hood when you feel the warm air and see if its smokin in their

As long as the heat indicator isn't in the red zone and the car isn't smoking, it'll be fine.

Just to be safe I'd get a new termostat!

check to see if you have the right amount of radiator fluid and check for leaks underneath the car when you park to be on the safe side. lates.

don't forget to replace your thermo switch while your there. it should be on your thermostat housing.
