Sorry to hijack here, but can anyone advise if thats normal? I have checked the hidden menu in the past and the temp stays in the 90's peaking at 96 degress if i remember correctly - assumed this was ok and the problems were on low temps.
have you checked the red boost pipe to see if its leaking? i found that when mine was leaking no matter how conservative i drove i use to get mid 20's mpg. when i had the pipe replaced the mpg shot up a bit
