It is normal for the Jetta's water temperature to exceed 90 by one notch. Here are the methods to deal with high water temperature in a car: Slow down and pull over: When encountering a high water temperature alarm, you should first slow down and drive the car to the side of the road. Do not rush to turn off the engine, as excessively high water temperature can cause the piston, cylinder walls, cylinder, and crankshaft to overheat, thinning the engine oil and losing its lubricating effect. Check the water level: Be careful not to open the radiator cap when the car is hot to avoid being burned by the high-pressure steam inside. If the water level is sufficient, check the fan behind the radiator. Even after the engine is turned off, the fan should still be running if the water temperature is high. If the fan is not moving, try turning the fan blades to see if the fan motor is stuck. Normally, the blades should turn easily.
