for a 16v 88 - 110.

ive seen it as high as 122 on my old 16v, supposedly if it gets up round the 146 mark this is when you start to panic

^ wot he says.

usual temp used to be around 95 however my rebuilt golf is showing an average of 80 which is definitely too low.

highest i've ever seen on a particulary "interesting section of road" before the rebuild was 126. i have seen higher though when the car had a big overheating problem. panic isnt the right word ;-)
