Re: How Hot do Scirocco's Run

    I'm in Okc, Ok. Our daily temps are just 2-3 degrees cooler. My water
temp tends to run around 50%, oil temp 100-110. I'd look for a cap or
coolant sensor gasket on top of the reservoir that doesn't allow proper
pressurization of the system as well the items your wrench suggested. A
pressure check can eliminate. A too lean fuel mix or incorrect timing can
contribute. Try Mark or Potterman if you need hoses. They both carry all the
obscebely expensive special hoses such as th upper radiator hose for 16v
with a/c.
