HOT ENGINE TEMPS
my engine runs hot all the time. it takes like 2mins while driving for it to get it heatedup.
i've been noticing that when i have to let the egt's cool down the engine gets hotter, and when i'm driving around town it seems to heat up.
this is all without the a/c when the a/c is on it's worse but just tonight my engine temps were almost on the H it was almost to the line before the h i mean.
should i try draining the coolant and putting some new coolent in.

These first gens are known for being hot, hot egt's, hot coolant and oil temps. Nothin on them is big enough, the turbos, radiators, or intercoolers for those of you that have them. Check your radiator cap. Mine was bad and I kept losing a lil coolant but couldnt figure out where it was going. It wouldnt hold any pressure, got a new one and mine is runnin a lil cooler now. A good coolant system flush and new coolant certainly wouldnt hurt anything but check the cap too
