The car goes into closed loop around that temperature. Buy some MAF cleaner from a company called CRC and clean the MAF sensor. I bought it at PepBoys last time. That should fix the problem. If not I would test or swap out the MAF to see if it is functioning properly.

Problem is I'm in Germany...ain't no pep boys around here! Is there a local common cleaner that I could try? Can't order online either as no aerosols can be shipped air..

Edit: Find out what other cars sold in Germany use a MAF sensor. They have to use something to clean them.
