    ....timing belt, spark plugs and upgrade my wheels to 18in rs6 wheels. now before I did my tb, my temp gauge always stayed in the middle and my oil temp stayed just shy of 200. now after the tb I noticed that the temp gauge shows the needle in between the middle and the next mark, but usually hangs out littlebit after the middle. so what I did was let the run with the antifreeze res. open so it can get all the air out. which it did get better because before it was a tid bit worse. now if did that with heat on hi from the climate control the car would be fine. the car never drifts past the next marking after the middle. and also the oil temp hangs out in betwee 200 and 225. I did everything with the tb differnce was I used a behr thermostat instead of the wahler. but I still think I have air in the system. what should I do to get all the air out? or it isn't that what could it be?
