-I had a similar issue when I did just a coolant change.

Did you guys make sure to fill it with the front end up high (on ramps) and through the upper radiator hose? Could be an air pocket in there.

This fixed my issue. Coolant back at mostly 80C all the time unless hill climbing or highway speed then it creeps up just a little.

I did read on here that all Tstats for this car are not created equal. Read that OEM from the dealer has best results, but still could be faulty...
