[T3] type3-vwtype3.org Digest, Vol 106, Issue 4

Tue Jul 9 10:21:22 PDT 2019

The engine temperature pick ups we install can be subjectively interpreted.

Are we really seeing what the temperatures are where  they matter most?

The summer desert heat can be in excess of 100 degrees here. I just drive.

As long as the vehicle is in motion, I feel alright.

Stopped in traffic without motion is when I worry.

Keeping constant track of the temperature monitors is like waiting for the pot to boil.

Drive and enjoy the ride.
