my mk1 was running a lot colder on the run back on sunday... the motorway was a virtual swimming pool though!  :laugh:

This had me thinking, Herm mentioned he had similar to me as it was quite windy too. I'm goin to test it from cold and see how that goes before doing anything further.

No matter the weather the temp should always be 90. The stat will open/close to always keep temp at 90. I ran 90 last summer in the boiling Spanish heat and 90 this winter gone in the freezing UK  :smiley:
