[QUOTE="StuF, post: 438126, member: 17262"] Nugsy - When we were in France and the temps were pretty similar to this recent weekend - hitting nearly 32 degrees at times. :shock: We were cruising at between 55/60mph (gps indicated) running at 3000/3300 rpm and at temp on a proven accurate VDO gauge would sit at 105 degrees rising to 110 when the ambient air temp maxed out. Bearing in mind though we were driving 6-8 hours a day. :shock: When we approached 110 degrees I slowed down to 50mph and the temp would drop back to just over 100 - I found 53mph to be the sweet spot for cruising and maintaining the temp at a constant level. To check the accuracy of your gauge disconnect the sender and submerge it in boiling water - see if it reads 100 degrees. Mine is absolutely spot on. 8) [/QUOTE]
