Yep I was at 53 mph with the car loaded to the gills in 100 degree heat with a tail wind. My grill cover was letting less than half the normal amount of air in. It was increasing temp gradually and was nearing the top of the range in the standard gauge.
My car is old and I don't need to replace any components because of over heating.
I suppose I could have removed half of the cover but it was 100 degrees and I was near overheated personally. Removal of the cover settled things down great.
After reading what aerohead says about Hucho and these early vw's, I am pretty convinced that the stock opening is just about perfect for the conditions I described.
