Sounds like you have the correct running temperature. My 1.8 always ran between 98-106 and the temperature gauge was always dead center. When I turned on the AC it would go a little higher but not alot maybe 110. My 2l runs between 100-110, hotter than my 1.8 but not alot. The water on the other hand runs around 1/4, I do have a low temp fan switch so that must help a little. --- Rejean Langis 91 Jetta GTX 16V 84 Lapin GTI [email protected]
