NO GOOD NEWS

Drove back today from Belgium to Switzerland (800km)

This time i drove during the day (30 degrees). Temp still did not exceed 120 degrees!

You really notice the heat! You feel that the engine is being heat soaked!

After 700 km of fast driving, maxing out multiple times and being stopped also multiple times for heavy traffic, i arrived in Switzerland with some 100 km to go on restricted Autobahn (120 km/h). After 60 km, driving in cruise mode, it happens...

THE CAR WENT IN LIMP MODE

Drove untill the next best place were i could stop. Stopped the engine and ignition. After waiting a while, i started again. Without limp... Drove back with no problem...

You know, if it happened in Germany on the Autobahn, i would understand it, but after 45 min driving at constant 120 km/h... I'm a bit worried...
