Re-filling coolant on a 996 from scratch??

[nickj911]

Thanks for all the help. Succesfully completed today. Got long life audi (pink, and appaently the same) in end from German and swedish for under £30 quid for 12 litres of the stuff. He did me a discount due to the amount I was buying. Worth while knowing if anyone doing the same as ALOT cheaper that other places. Temp still running at 90 degree though so bit dissapointed as thought this may help. Any ideas why running bit high?? Would like it to be about 80 degrees. Themostat maybe, are these expensive??

90 is the right temp, most cars sit between 92&94.

My vx220 for instance goes to 120C before the fans kick in.

Really!! I've read alot of people on this forum saying they run straight through the zero of 80 which is about 10 degrees lower than me! Be pleased if was normal though!!

It's certainly not hot enough to worry about. Pretty much every car on the road sits at 90c when running normally.
