Well, I'm driving my stock 71 1.7 from north AZ. To south Phoenix, and it's going to 108, or higher. My concern is heat and my engine. Never drove it with this type of hot weather. Should I have any concerns . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I drove my six into the Santa Ynez Valley (over the mountains from SB) a couple of years ago and it went from 70 degrees to 105 degrees. There wasn't a good turnaround and by the time I could, my oil temp gauge hit 220+ and my oil cooler seals started leaking afterwards. My car doesn't like that high heat. My recommendation is take a quart of oil with you just in case.
