Test drove a 2023 Tiguan this afternoon.
Temp was sitting at 130c the entire time.
That seems high,right?
Otherwise it drove fine. Was a bit boring but decent for what it is.

Yeah, seems pretty high. Most cars you want to see 195-220F, which is 90-105C. Don't rule out a poorly calibrated or just generally wonky gauge though.

Thanks.
It smelled like burning oil with a slight odor of coolant when I got back from the test drive so I didn't bother looking closer at it.

Blueprint

The press fleet unit we had here from that generation had a bunch of wonky issues - not something I'd consider out of a full warranty.
Current rides: 2024 Mazda CX-90 PHEV GS-L, 2022 Subaru Crosstrek Limited, 1975 Triumph TR6 Teabagger Express
