For normal driving it sits on 84 nearly all the time. Into the low 90's if I push it. I did a 'spirited' run through the royal national park and made it to 105.

The two engines are very different so not surprising they run different temperatures.
My MKV GTI used to run around 90 celsius though
Very rare for my Golf R to exceed 90-95 degrees...sprited driving or not.
I topped her up before i left , non used with 1500km , have added in 8500km about 1 litre .Quote:

Funny i miss that gruffy bad boy sound of the RS stage1 , MK6 just less mean .
I meant "type of oil used" ....
Oil temp in Tiggy hit 112 one day over Christmas road trip coming home from S.A. It was 45 outside, had the roof rack loaded up & was sitting on 110. It's normally on 100, may go up to around 104 on a spirited run.
Tig 115 up the Glouster Mountains (NSW) warm day but not over 30. Big mountain drive. Had to stop at a look out to give it a breather (leaving the engine on).
