your temps are fine.

Volcano Vaporizer Review

 

I changed my radiator but I am also getting around 230-233 in traffic and 180-190 highway. I think the 01 ran a little hotter than others. Hope this helps.

 

You should be fine. Under normal running conditions, mine runs about 100F greater than the current temp. Fan kicks on at 220 when I'm sitting in traffic.

 

fan kicks in at 226 and goes up to 227 max

 

Sounds normal to me.

177 at highway cruising speeds but through town in stop and go I sit around 200ish. When its really hot out at stop lights i'll hit close to 230. Fan comes on around 226-227

 

recomend the pre mixed water wetter, **** makes a big diff mine was running 200-215 and put this stuff in there since a friend recomends it and dropped and really doent go past 190. just dont run it in the winter it will freeze

 

ok, seems to be a consensus!

Thanks guys!

 

as long as you don't hit 255, you'll be fine. That's when the warning lights fire up.

 

Sounds only a few degrees high...mine typically runs about 175-185 at high speed, but sitting in traffic for any amount of time in the heat and it can climb to225 which is when my fan kicks on. You should be fine.

 

Oh, by the way, I've got an 01 F4i too...this is pretty normal.
