Not an answer to your question, but I'm just curious, where are you getting
the water temp info from? Hopefully not from the water temp gauge in the
dashboard, as that thing is programmed to stay right on 90C regardless
whether the coolant temp is 90C or 80C or 100C.
Cheers,
Pete

Let me be more specific. The coolant gauge on my '01 A4 behaved that way.
It had a dead range in the center, and it was designed to stay there and not
alarm the driver if it was a few degrees below or above 90C. Maybe it was
betw. 85C and 95C, I can't remember. Only if something was seriously out of
whack (big temp change) would the gauge move to the left or right of the
center. This could be easily monitored on the digital coolant temp display
in the climate control section - the temp would fluctuate a few degrees here
and there while the needle on the dashboard would not budge from the center.
Cheers,
Pete
