what are 'normal' readings and what readings should be regarded as potential problems.
Using a sump located temp cheers |
anyone????!!
|
oil pressure around 8 bar when cold, dropping to 2 and a bit when hot.
Temperatures - highest i have seen so far is 100C, measured at the top of the engine. More like 90C in normal use? Gareth |
OK,
Using the Defi gauges with the Oil Temp probe in number 3, I see approx 80-90degC most of the time when driving around town and on cruise. When on boost for more than a couple of seconds, I tend to see about 100-110degC. I've got an MY00 with the plastic undertray on. I'm fairly certain that these figures match a few others and I seem to remember Bob (of BRD fame) saying that when he was using a sump bung temp sender, he was seeing about 60degC but upon moving to number 3, was seeing about 80. Pressure - cold from idle I see just about 7bar. 2bar (or is it 3, I can't remember) on idle. 6bar when warm and revs are above 1500rpm. Don't thrash your car until your oil hits 80degC BTW :) Matt :) |
As additional reference - At normal running temp. Oil press. 80/85 psi rising to 90psi+ if using high revs Oil temp. with sump sender - 80c normal rising to 100c+ stuck in traffic on the M25!
