Gauges technical data???

[leon7284]

Done a search but nothing contains this sort of information that im after:

1. Oil pressure on idle?
2. Oil pressure whilst driving?
3. Oil temperature once warmed up?
4. Boost pressure on idle?
5. Boost pressure under load?

Based on a standard Leon Cupra R 210

My oil temp gets to on average 120c when warm. Can go beyond that if your driving at full revs or 100mph+
Boost pressure on idle is -25psi- -30psi
Boost pressure under load 10psi (standard) 20-21psi (remapped)

No idea on oil pressures

Erh mine are quite different to that:

Oil temp gets to high 90's
Boost on idle is -0.5
Boost under load is +0.8

Can anyone else contribute their stats???

 

[Mitchy]

Your quoting bar as opposed to psi measurement for boost hence different measurements.

Dont have a clue why oil temp readings are different. You should at least be around 110c after 20-30mins driving!

Where have you plumbed your oil temp sender to? The oil filter housing? Sump plug?

0.8bar is about 10-11psi

As long as your gauge reads a negative bar reading then its fine. Gauges will have different markings on them. (mines has -25 readings)

Ive got both the oil pressure sender and oil temp coming off the oil filter housing aparently thats best place for most acurate readings?

My gauges are digital and the boost used to read -0.7 now the idle seems a bit up and down and the boost is -0.5 aint got a clue why thats changed.

my oil temp used to read about 120c normally on chipped lcr and reach upto 150 when driven hard. Fitted an oil cooler and doesnt go above 120-130 even on track. Motorway driving is about 90C.

i always thought the sump would be the best place to plumb it into
