possible cooling problem?

[linz]

Hi Guys and Girls

My vs v6 wagon when you drive around with the air-con on sits almost at half way on the tenp gauge and with my last vs sadan it sat on the second line on the temp guage.
Now i have changed the thurmostat coolent and flused the radiator to but still sits a half way when air-con is on ?

I dont think it is right so any help would be great.

Sounds pretty normal to me - try idling it without the aircon on - it should go to about 3/4 and then the cooling fan will switch in. No two temp gauges are exactly the same!
