Oil Temperature for a TDI

Post by **slobbo** » 30 Sep 2008, 17:03

Can anybody tell me what what the oil temperature reads in your TDI conversion. I've just put in a guage and want to know what normal is for most.

I have an intercooler and an external oil cooler so I am hoping it reads nice and cool.

Also does anybody have a Autogauge Oil Temperature gauge? The sender in my pack is the right thread but is quite long so have been looking for an adapter to stand it out a bit. Has anyone put it straight in? If so any flow problems?

About 90 degrees at about 70mph, approaching 120 degress at 100mph

Mines 100 degress at 70mph, cools alot when in traffic, probably down to 75-80 degrees.
No oil cooler other than the one it came with on the filter casing.

Looks like mine sits at about 80 on the motorway and 70 around town.

Cool,
Mines never been above 100c usually reads 80c on a run
