That's is one of the few things I have had to do to my car along with the Brake Master Cylinder, Fluids, Belts and Hoses. I'm still on the OEM brake pads from 96, as my car has low mileage. Still had the OEM Goodyear Eagles when I bought mine during the pandemic. Now sporting Continental Extreme Contact. Looks like your car might have Chrome ZR1 wheels instead of the stock Sawblades.
Also, these cars run HOT, it's NORMAL. All new C4 owners think their cars are overheating. It's entirely normal for these cars to get into the 230 degree range in the city or in traffic (trust the digital gauge over the analog) - Fans kick on around 227-228 and they will cool back down.  |
Holy shit, someone else here owns one. Mine isn't some low mileage creampuff tho, it has 98k on it and it's been handed around like some two-bit floozy. But she never disappoints me, she still runs hard.
I've never had any issues with it running hot tho, even when I'm driving hard. I do feel quite a bit of heat from the trans.
I've fooled around with the headlamps, and I found a way to adjust the tops, but haven't found a way to adjust the bottoms.
