Here is what I know and could use a bit of help.
The timing belt was done by a shop about a year and a half ago.
It has a 191 degree thermostat and runs about 198 on flat roads and climbs to 208ish up hill or with the a/c on.
The water temp gauge is accurate per VDO specs
The thermostat is functioning fine (tested it in a pot of water)
Water pump is new
New fan VC
The radiator top hose is showing 175ish degrees
Could it be the timing? If so do I need to advance or retard it?
I'm open for any ideas you may have.
