HELP! 225TT engine temp at 3/4 guage position when driving hard
This never happened on my old 180TT. My mod on the 225TT is just a chip, filter and DV. What should I do?
I wont be able to track my 225TT in this condition! Any suggestions on what to do to remedy my 225TT's high temp? TIA

Does the condition persist? What about normal operation?
It's my understanding that the OEM water pump can loose vanes, as they are not metal. If it's time to consider a timing belt anyway, pump replacement might be the answer.
Before doing that, did you have the A/C turned off when you were running hard? Is the fan (or fans) working? Does your operating temp fluxuate during normal operations? You may just have a bad thermostat or temp sensor.

Normal operation, no prob at all. Even in heavy traffic, guage stays at 1/2. A/C off or on, same.
Problem only happens when I drive the car hard. Also, my car has only 10,000km on it. BTW, thanks for the reponse.
