Has this become The Late Beetle? No one told me. When I was little I had a beetle that I kept in a matchbox. Later I had a Beetle that was a Matchbox. Then much later I got a Beetle that was a Beetle with a 1200cc engine. Loved it. Had a hole in the floor that let the rain out. But all equally irrelevant.
Was one on tow so had a cold engine, the other one was hot from all the towing... Just thinking in the VW way?
One is serviced, well set up and running well. The other isn't. Do I win a prize? I understood the original question as well and frankly to imagine RedArmy was being rude rather than joking makes you seem like "jobsworths" to me. I expect you'll think that's rude as well.
wrong timing amongst other more obvious things can make the engine run much hotter. lean mixture can especially get the head's hot. where did you "measure" the heat?
