Re: '90 V8Q: Hot coolant temp!

[Eric Harman <ericha@wrq.com>]

Chris, is your fan going on or not during this?  

I have a '91 200 Quattro, and when I idle the temp on mine shoots up, too, but then
the fan come on (and believe me, there's no missing it) and that gets things back
under control.  
My oil temp will go up a bit under these conditions, but only a very little bit.  Nowhere
near the 130 mark.  My coolant temp gauge doesn't have numbers if I remember this
right; I'll check on the way to work today and describe what it does relative to all the
major and minor marks
