    Got me a VR6 thermostath and indeed it helps.
    While driving it hits about 85 degrees.

    Thanks for the tip Ben.

      Has anyone more info/photo's ?
      Thanks in advance.

      Mine sits at 94 degC when driving and gets to 100-103 when stopping at the traffic lights.
      what I can say is that you ideia is not so strange as it looks. I had once a peugeot and the termostat had already a small hole on it, ver small say kind of 4mm diameter, that was from original.

          Speak to MarkH and do a search through the forum since he has already done just that.
