My TiiCo runs just above the LED on the gauge as well. However. I have
VAG-COM and can pull the sensor numbers right from the ECU. So far, the
ECu is saying that my bus is running at a near constant 100 deg. C. (212
deg F) This seems rather high IMO, plus, I have a switch (actually, the
original hear seat heater switch) rigged so I can control the rad fan with
it (through a relay, of course). It's been a while since I pulled numbers
from the ECU, but I don't think running the fan made a difference, even
with it running almost full time. This leads me to believe I have some
sort of blockage in my radiator. I have a replacement sitting in the
garage, I just haven't had the time to replace it yet.
