Well. It was 102 degrees driving back home from work today.
Car stayed cool especially when cruising at 50-60 mph. Then I hit stop and go traffic. For a while maintained 210-212. Then, i noticed oil temp creeping up and coolant started to go past 230. I turned the ac off and temp dropped back down. From this point, I turned on and turned off ac as needed to stay around 225 max.
Despite Marc's chip, factory system could not take hot weather and ac. Nonetheless, it was doable...
