Default TT 180hp Getting Warmer....Normal or Not?

The TT that I JUST bought last weekend is getting warm, but it only happens when I'm sitting still at like a stoplight or in traffic. Once I get it up going around 40 mph it starts cooling off. But it's only gotten to the first notch past the very middle on the temp gauge. And when it gets there, the air conditioning goes out. Is that normal too? Any suggestions on keeping it cooler at idle speeds would be very much appreciated.

sounds like you have cooling issue mine does the same but never goies past half. Could be a simple fix or could be as much as a leaking head gasket.

Doesnt sound normal, max mine gets is to the center line (which it does rather quickly) but never past

weird

might be that your fans bad or its relay
or your water pumps starting to go bad, Cause the pully is made out of plastic so
over time it cracks then it slips then it breaks, so if you ever get that replaced make sure they replace that plastic POS with a metal one
or it could be your thermostat as well

or
it could simply be that you need to put more anti freeze in your car because its low haha

Make sure you have a green top tempature sensor...they are $5 from the dealer (make sure you get the $1 O-ring as well) stock is **** to go bad (I had exact issues you have) switching will most likely fix your problem. Takes 5 minutes.
