I would install the ATF temperature gauge first and then cooler if needed.

Dont know about the Vw's temps but my 100 ser Croozer had a temp gauge on the auto and it ran at 65-75deg and never got up over 80 except once on the Willunga Hill near Adelaide and that was towing a 3 tonne van on a hot day. Got up to about 97 that day.
The EGT was reading 515 post turbo so was backing off and changing down to get temps down.

There is this old thread over on the Vortex forum. There is a comment by swim4, whose opinion I respect, at the bottom.

I can't find the thread I was looking for that detailed temps an owner read after fitting a temp gauge.
Understand how it works, troubleshoot logically BEFORE replacing parts.
