Depends on what oil cooler set up you have.

I have a 25 row cooler oil temperatures round town and on motor ways are about the 80*c mark. On long hills when the turbo is going for it like a good un oil temperatures can climb to 90*c but it has never really been above that thinking about it. My water temperature usually sits about 10*c above my oil
The water temperature gauge is alot more sensitive at giving an accurate reading than the factory rough guide one and I just know what it should read when doing certain things. This week it was reading just 5-10* to high after overtaking on the M23, (it didnt show as a change on the dash one) and when I got home I found the small pipe to the expansion tank had a split in it so it had lost the water from the expansion tank. It also drew my attention to the point my water pump was making a strange chirping noise so I changed that and discovered the baring in the old one had gone and avoided a break down in the near future that could have resulted in another blown head knowing my luck.

Full boost reads 0.7 bar

Oil pressure reads 3 bar doing 60mph when the oil is topped right up. My engine doesnt like being to full though as it usually burns it all off back down to above the minimum mark and stayed there then but this has a very small drop in oil pressure.

Battery reads over 14 volt when charging.
