Is a Passat's Water Temperature of 100 Degrees Normal?

[CarolineFitz]

It is normal for a Passat's water temperature to reach 100 degrees Celsius for a short period, but maintaining 100 degrees for an extended time is abnormal. The normal water temperature should be between 80-90 degrees Celsius. Most engine-specific antifreeze can withstand a maximum temperature of around 110 degrees. Here is some information about antifreeze: 1. Introduction to Antifreeze: Antifreeze is a type of coolant containing special additives, primarily used in liquid-cooled engine cooling systems. It has excellent properties such as preventing freezing in winter, boiling in summer, and protecting against scale and corrosion all year round. 2. Functions of Antifreeze: Engines and their cooling systems are made of metals, including copper, iron, aluminum, steel, and solder. These metals, when in contact with water at high temperatures for prolonged periods, can corrode and rust. Antifreeze not only prevents corrosion in the engine cooling system but also offers anti-corrosion and rust-removal functions.
