I have an early model 1966 A4 with early model thermostat and it always run at 140 F w/ Lake Michigan water. Every few years I might suck up some debris by the dock and the short 3/8 cooper tube from the water pump to the intake gets a little clogged and the temp moves up to 160 -180 F. I remove and clear the tube and gently run a coat hanger wire in and out of the respective engine intake water jacket, reassemble and it's back to 140 F.
