Ive done exactly the same as you mate, new head gasket, thermostat and rad on my 1.4 8V. It now runs slightly hotter than before (87-92 ish on a run) but Im used to it now and all seems fine. It does stay around 90 on the motorway but goes back to normal when driving slower. I wouldn't worry about it, it's just not what you're used to.
yeah well ive had it for a few months now so definitely getting used to it! but on the motorway mine goes up to 100 and even when the fan kicks in wont go back down really till you let off the hench 1.4 power plant or start going down a hill!
my gti sits at about 90 if i sit still goes up to the next bar then the fan kicks in and goes back down nothgn wrong with that, Jedwards wer are you from if your local and have any probs i don't mind having a look
yeah mine definitely runs exactly the same! what about when your speeding? does my nut in because im constantly thinking about what if the head gasket goes because its under a lot of strain..
nothing wrong with my motor mate pulls fine doesnt over heat.
speeding ? dont condone it but if im doing 70 temp normaly aroud 80 / 90 depending on the time of year. if my head gasket went it woulnd borth me because i can do the job lol got a spare engine laying around 2
