[Vwdiesel] Cooling issues

[Rudy]

I'm measuring this change with the same electric temp gauge.  I have not
eliminated loading on the system voltage.  I will check that next.  

I did tighten the belt this morning before I drove it and it seemed to make
a difference.  I wish I would have checked the voltage before, didn't think
of it...........Rudy

How are you measuring this temperature increase? Have you eliminated loading
on the system voltage?
