Are you sure that this behaviour is new? I would normally expect the ground
temp to be higher due to the limited airflow but the oil has not had time to
warm up fully. Climbing temps would be higher due to the engine working
hard and thus raising the head temperatures and so the coolant.
Although not relevant to you problem are you going to change to the 1.2 bar
cap.

Subject: Europa-List: Coolant Temps.
After changing all coolant hoses and coolant 50/50 I am now getting much
higher coolant temperatures while taxiing and climbing, typically 25 C above
the oil temperature. In the cruise the temperatures are all within 2 degrees
of each other. I don't think I had this problem before. The radiator sits in
front of the oil cooler. What could be the problem ? The pressure cap is .9
bar.
Any suggestions ?
Karl
