Hi how long does your 208 GTI TAKE TO HIT 90c from a cold start?

That depends on whether your thermostat is functioning correctly. If it is working then it should be less than 10 minutes for the engine to be up to temp(depending on your driving style and journey taken). If it take along time to get up to temp you may have an issue with the thermostat.

Interesting, I currently have an issue with the car when it’s gets to 90-100 it’s starts loosing power and if really give it some it says engine fault service. The other thing I noticed is it get hot very quickly it will hit 90c in less than 5 minutes! I’ve always had VAG cars and wasn’t sure if it was a Peugeot GTI thing.

I’ve driven Peugeot for years and they usually are quick to get up to temp. The Prince engine especially runs really hot! Anyone that tunes them has to do allot of work with FMIC and turbo jacket etc.
If it’s loosing power at temp it’s overheating over usual operating temp. Can you smell coolant in the cabin when you drive? Is your coolant okay? If it’s throwing up an EML you need to get in plugged in and check what the issue is.
