Hi Guys,

I had my GTI's Radiator replaced under warranty about a year ago, and ever since have had high engine oil temps.

They are between 105 and 110 degrees regardless of ambient temp and driving conditions.

Before the radiator replacement, they used to hover between 96 and 103 ( Summer and High Traffic ).

Whenever I turn the car off, the fans will kick in and run for a while, which is also a bit odd. If they did kick in before, it was over pretty quickly. Now they run for several minutes.

Not sure why it would rise like this with just a radiator replacement. Have had it checked out by my usual mechanic and VW when it goes for work, but nothing is found.

I am only assuming it is the radiator, because I never had the issue before it went in for the replacement.

Just think its a bit high for normal day to day driving.

Has anyone else had high temps like this?
