I have the opposite problem, can't keep mine warm let alone hot.
Am running the VN V6 radiator, around town it's at running temp (as long as I get a few red lights), get on the motorway and drops to cold. Need to block a bit of the grill off

I wish!!!  the red 202 is hauling 3 ton so it is working pretty hard all the time.  I am using a Speco temp gauge and not the original.  What about you guys?  i checked the water temp with a thermometer and it is accurate. I'm running a triple core holden radiator for the beddie but methinks i need more water capacity too.  I tell ya, fixing the airflow into the radiator and not around it helped heaps.  A bit more water capacity and some more refinement / fiddling with the air flow and it should be spot on.

Off topic: It's not an uncommon issue. I remember there was a bit about the V6's running cool on the Justcommodores forum.

On topic: I have no idea what that spoiler fits.
