Dear Saabgemeinde, last weekend I drove at 180 km/h on the highway, and the needle of the temperature indicator wandered into the upper third. The outside temperature was 17 degrees. Therefore, I reduced the speed to 140 km/h, and the needle commuted in the middle area. I drive the car since August last year, and I have often noticed that the temperature indicator rises so high, but in urban traffic and at standstill. It is a 2.3 liter turbo engine, mileage 185,000 km, therefore 180 km/h should not be over-stressed. Should not the highway generate enough air cooling at higher speeds and thus the temperature range is in the middle area? Three weeks ago my cylinder head seal has burned through, and therefore I am a bit anxious now… I would be happy about reassuring words 😉 Greeting Ronald Saabgemeinde,
