My 1.9 ran at 75-80 degrees all the time... only crept up to 90 in traffic on a hot day....
My 2.1 is weird to say the least.... on a hot day it runs at 80 and runs up to 90 degrees really quickly, when it's a little cooler and on the move it runs at 65 degress?!? I've got a FMIC and no front grill..... and a Valeo radiator...
have you flushed the coolant out resently?
But i will be running the front grill again and I'm going to fit some Astra GSI style bonnet vents, some will tell me off but I don't care... I like them and they are functional...
rather than explaining why....

it is part of a 3 part series but the diagrams should cover it....
