100C! Thats hot, mine now runs at 78C, peaking at 86C, however to get to this point I've replaced the radiator, thermostat, viscous fan, removed EGR and cooler, replaed MAP and MAF sensors, and last weekend replaced the Serpentine belt (which dropped the running temp by 2C alone)

This was Jan 2016 in the car park of macca's at Echuca. On the main road, the temp stayed at about 88C.

It was interesting watching the temp on the nanocom slowly rise, slightly nervous, what with D2 heating issues and all, to see the temp drop quickly to 88C, then slowly rise up. I guess that the electric fan kicked in or the thermostat opened, not sure what happened. Not fussed, the coolant stayed well below any unsafe temp.

Mine will be "Micky Mouse" when I pick her up on Monday, The entire cooling system has been replaced [bigrolf]
