Are you talking water temp or oil temp? Its not unusual for oil temp to hit 110, but it is a little high. Water temps are ok up to about 105, but 90 is more like it.

Don't have MFA on the GTD  :sad:

On the way into work today it got near 3/4 on the temp gauge sitting in the Oxford traffic  :shocked: That's the highest I've ever seen it! usually it gets to 1/4 with normal driving and 1/2 when booting down the motorway. Traffic started moving and it went down to just over 1/4 again by the time I got to work.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Mine rarely goes beyond 100 (oil) but considering what yours is putting out, it sounds fine.

I've got a MK2 16V that reaches the: 1/2 mark town driving, and the 1/4 mark motorway driving. I'm not really sure what the exact figures are for the oil as I don't trust the MFA readouts..

I was holding 110 solid for about 30 mins a while back (on a german motorway) and my oil temp was at a mighty 120 degs, once I backed off to normal speeds it dropped to a more reasonable 105ish.

I saw mine over 140+ when the coolant pipe split in heavy traffic. Had no choice but to stop/start.
