It might be a stack up. I took the car out today after weeks setting inside, ran the a/c, drove it briskly, temp seemed to want to park at about 86°C. At idle it would climb to just over 100°. Whatever I have done seems to have made a difference. Now to investigate the cluster and its connections. These engines (616-617) do not respond well to delayed maintenance in the coolant department. Mine was let go for a period, judging from all the rust I flushed out. Now it's running Zerex G05 50/50 water/coolant.
