do the engine gauges still work properly?

The first time might be right, but isn`t the coolant system pressurized and that because the boiling point independent from the altitude?

No expert here, just guessing.

If it wasn't pressurized then it would leak all over the place. Anything that contains a liquid or gas that is not meant to escape will be pressurized. Balloons, cans of soda, your air mattress. All pressurized.

Oops I didn't mean to come across as an expert either I'm just going by the Messerschmitt chart that shows that the temperature limits are lower the higher you get. Going by that I figured it must be because the boiling point changes with altitude.

However you are right the system would be pressurized so I'm not sure why the limits are lower.
