hey there

im from austria and own a '99 GTi6

its imported from germany and has at least 2 pre owners

and i got a problem with the temperature

when i drive outside the city far away from trafficlights and stop signs, the engine keeps cool between 70 and 90 degree celsius

but as i come into the city and stop&go phases, the engine heats up to 90° and over

the pre owner added a fan switch for switching the fan on manually

it cools automatic on his own, this switch is only for additional switch-on-the-fan

after switching on or driving faster than about 50 km/h / 30mph the engine cools down again

i own the car now a month and im afraid of summer when its hot outside


what are possible solutions for my problem?

(excuse my partially bad grammar , thx )

Yer mine run on a normal run at around 80 and in traffic just over 90. Hope that helps mate
