AA reckon an 8 showing 118 coolant temp is 'normal'
& refused to recover my car. It was idling at 105 and when the AA guy took it for a spin it hit 118. No matter what I said to him that Audi say the right temp is between 80-105 and it never went over 90 on my other S8 nor this till recently he said every cars different so whilst 90 might have been what the guage sat at on my old car this one it would sit at 110. The car was quickly creeping to 120 so I got it parked up and then told Ben off him 
Sorry Ben for calling so late but the AA guy was just baffled by everything Ben told him and reluctantly agreed to recover the car. The guy said you learn something new everyday but come on all that hassle and fobbing off. Lucky Ben picked up or the AA guy would pulled my trousers down and left me for dead!
