Bitron unitThumbs up Which I believe lives either in the fan cowling or in the nearside wheel arch.

Every gti 6 will do exactly the same. They are prone too running this hot dude! As long as your fans work they will stop the engine from being damaged, So just roll with itThumbs up

Yep mine does the same, can be sat in traffic for only a short period of time and you can see it slowly creeping up to 90 deg. Get some air flow to the engine then goes back down to 75 again Smile.

Interesting to know why they run so hot tho
