Hmm. I've gotta make a run down 45 to Hobby in a bit so I'll make sure the #'s were as I thought they were.

What would cause fine IAT's and high coolant temps, air in the system?

monitor coolant again just to make sure it goes up to 200F.
Could be the following a stuck thermostat, failing cooling fan and lastly a blown head gasket through which exhaust gases are leaking and heating the coolant up on runs (but i highly doubt it is the head gasket)

Doesn't look like I'm going to make it out tomorrow. Got this on the way home from dinner.

At first it made an extremely high pitched whine, which stopped. Now it just expels foul smelling air with a low pitched hiss as it tries to fill up. I'll be going to the dealer tomorrow it seems [warranty].

Sorry to see that Doc..strut failure?

Pretty wet here..so playing it by ear.

Should have had C&C and 1pm it turned out to be a beautiful day.

Hey Doc, if the whole car is slammed, just bring it anyways, itll look great! lol

See if PTE has any 160* thermo's for you BenzoDoc.

Yep, strut failure.

I wish, but I wanted to get the car to the dealer first thing saturday.

Car is back now, 2 brand new struts in the front. Feelsgoodman.jpg that it essentially pays off any future extended warranty I'll purchase in July.

Any idea what the ballpark $$$ is on those? My brother went with a lower temp thermostat [not from PTE] on his track audi and has encountered nothing but problems unfortunately, so I'm hesitant.
