What temp are you guys running with the 160 thermo? Before I put mine in, my car was running 200-210 at highway speeds, with the stock 180, fully warmed up. After putting my Hypertech 160 in tonight, it runs in the 180-185 range in the same scenario. Just wondering what kind of difference you guys had. Also, did you notice any difference in gas mileage? Take care!

Mine runs 180-185 at speed with the stock 180. I'll put my 160 in a few days and get back to you.

Mine rarely goes over 185 even idle and WOT. Cruising it's around 170*.

You dropped 20°. That would be just about right.

Mine w/ the 160 stayed at about 160 and probably got up to a little under 180. I took it out for the winter because I wanted the car to run warmer. I don't know if they do anything performance wise.

A cooler running engine would have to produce a few more ponies.

mine also dropped about 20 degrees afterwards down to 175 or so highway speed. Its nice because it takes it a lot longer to rise to 210 at idle in traffic now.

You need to get your PCM programmed for the 160 stat so that the fans turn on at the correct time. JMHO

They are, I use a Hyp. Power Programmer.

Mine runs mostly at about 170-173 even in warm weather with the A/C on. Ocassionally it gets up to 178-180 after extended idle in traffic. I have had my computer reprogrammed by Ion and I still get between 22-24 MPG. I have an A4 w/ 3.23's.
