Had oil coler fail in my2005 1.8t and after draining and flushing coolant multiple times i have a question. i flushed through oil cooler coolant hoses and it semed to flush well. when I run the car now temp climbs to108-114 celsius, aux. fan comes on and temp slowly drops but radiator is cold. Is it common to have the radiator plug? Heater core is putting out 150 degres F. at vents.
