Hi,
Having now followed the advice on here to move my oil temp sensor I finally have readings. After a 10 minute slow drive, then with getting the engine up at 4k I was reading 84 or so degrees. The temp seemed to match the water temps at all times.
I need to start taking long journeys, what should I expect the temps to be during motorway driving?
Thanks

 

Mine was 85 degs constantly under normal driving went to just above 90 with a fmic fitted.
Only time it rises really us under hard driving

 

Thanks Tubbs, I left the car idling for a few minutes and it remained in the 80's, oil pressure sat at 2 bar.

 

Yeh cold idle about 6 bar hot idle 2.
Temps wont rise on normal driving.

 

Mine sits at 90 degrees except when I give it some beans, when it can peak at 110 deg.
Defi.

Out of interest, where's your oil temp. sender?

 

same as mine, sender in bung over cylinder 3

 

Mine sits at about 90-95 in normal driving depending on the age of the oil, and creeps to 95-100 when pushing it

 

That's where mine is now

 

Im getting 1.7 bar hot idle and 85-90 temp when driving normally.

 

87-88 on normal driving and mid 90s on sprinted drive ,on motorway cruise at 70 average 90-95.
sensor over cylinder 3 and temps based on average summer temps taken from psi3 via defi sensor

 

I'm the same and can drop to 70 on long motorway run, yours is spot on mate, stop worrying and give it death.

 

Lol, 500 miles to go yet.

 

If it's already managed 500 miles, there aint much wrong with it, my theory is if it gets past the first 20 without hearing the "death rattle" it's fine.

 

I couldn't hear much past the power steering pump up until yesterday, bit of a bitch of a job.
Breathers were full of gunk yesterday though, as I wasn't using it on long journeys. Oil is fine though. And the turbo seems to scream at 4k, mind you it's starting to boost at about 2k and it's only a td04
