Andy, Here is something you might want to consider. I too have notices times when my temperature reads above 200, it usually is at about 190. I had concern that something was amiss in my cooling system. I measured the temperature both with an inferred sensor and a thermocouple on the engine when I returned from a flight. I was never able to get a reading as high as shown on the gage. I then noticed if the engine was off the reading declined about 10 degrees. What I have determined is that there is a voltage sensitivity in the VDO meters, higher voltage higher reading. Thus after flying a while and the batteries get fully charged the voltage tents to rise, along with the temperature. I'm going to put together a small circuit to clamp the voltage going to the water and oil temperature at 12 to 12.5 volts and then see what happens. I probably will get it done and in the air this week or next and then see what happens.
