Hi guys.
I just bought me a Corrado VR6 1996 (had a G60 some time back) And I'm exited to be back in the VW Corrado world.
BUT...I have an issue I do not trust with this VR6.
When the engine heats up it will stay around 110 deg C (water) and gradually go up to 120 driving hard or city. Which I think is way to high.
My Oil temp is about 116 in city and 126 driving hard.
One of the fans is constantly running (from the moment I turn over the engine) Probably connected directly. Is this normal?
Also the secondary fan will kick in after the water temp has passed the 120 mark.
I though I might have a Head gasket issue.
But my oil is still clear and the water level is steady. Also I don't have over pressure in the water system. so that rules out my head gasket.
Could one of you help me out here to whether this is normal (which I doubt) or point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance
Graham
