Ok,i am going to say this.I have had the car for over a year,and i am correct in saying it runs hotter in cold weather!Why?It is very typical to get to 207* not even boosting for me.I am starting to think i have a fracture of my ic i can't tell.

 

When coming to a stop i notice it climbs to around 210, after i start moving again it dips down 10-20 degrees. In the summer its a lot more stable.

 

same here. normal

 

Interesting. Mine barely goes over 175 unless i'm standing still.

 

ive caught mine at 205* a few times when cold and using the heat.

 

Mine has gone as high as 217 when stopped for awhile then goes back down to normal operating temp.

 

I thought i was crazy or something was up with my car when I noticed this ....... glad the OP brought it up. Back in the fall when it started getting cold I noticed it would run hotter by 4-5 degree's at times .

 

My car always runs at 199* regardless of the outside temperature when I'm moving. I always wondered if that was high, I guess not.

 

Mine does the same. Funny someone mentioned it, I was wondering about it myself!

 

205 is normal for me in the winter in the summer it never goes over 197

 

Same here. My car sed to run at about 195 during the summer constant. Now if i get on it in the cold it will climb to about 208 to 210? wierd. lol my friends built 240 has trouble gettinover 180 even after getting on it.

 

mine runs at 187 when driving but will climb up to the 200's when stopped for a while in the cold.

 

It's because we have te heater goin and all that good stuff. It's all good. Nothing to worry about

 

The heater draws heat from the coolant to warm up the air blowing into the cabin, your theory is wrong. OP it is completely normal nothing to worry about. Also you dont have a crack in your intercooler, your intercooler has nothing to do with your engine coolant.

 

well mine only gets to about 175 here when its -5 out
