Thats about right pretty much ideal temp. My A6 at idle would some time go as high as 215 before the fan kicked in, but would come down to around 180ish when driving.

my fans on all the time.....it doesnt really go above or below the 180 range....i just wasnt sure if it was a little high or not.
Obviously when you first start the car its cooler right.

lol , naw it seems to be at 180 before i start it too , wierd!!!
naw , im sayin that it never gets past 180 , never goes below 178 once it reaches operating temp.

Holds steady at ~176-180*F on the street with the fans kicked on all the time. Hits about 190-193*F on the track(road course).
Koyo radiator, FAL dual 12" fans, SR20DET. A big radiator is a must if you boost longer than 15 seconds or so.
