Oil Temp

[FlexLeon]

Hi to all.

I have just installed a oil temp gauge on my Leon 1.8T AUQ engine and oil temp goes around 100 degrees C at normal drive not driving it hard. Is that normal temp. Can anybody tell me yours situation with oil temp. THX

I haven't got a temp gauge myself, but it sound about right, especially with a turbo. Bearing in mind when your coolant is up to temp (90•C), that is under pressure so actual temp of your coolant is around/above 100.

Mine stills at 84-94 on liquid gauge

As above except when really really pushing it for long periods it'll go over 100.

The Auq engine has an oil plate cooler / warmer . Its a sandwich type mounted ontop of the oil filter with engine coolant piped through it . Its purpose is to warm the oil up fast to working temp and keep it some where near the engine coolant temp on a run . Thus 100c is about as cool as your gonna get it on a good run . Some LCR s have a proper oil cooler which are air cooled and thus the oil runs cooler temps than the Auq equiped 180 LC

Mine reaches to 110c when booting it hard, sits around 90-100c with normal driving.

I have a Raid HP meter.

If you run a lower temp rated thermostat and you have the sandwich plate oil cooler described above your oil temp will run correspondingly lower also . However this will result in oil deterioration due to build up of condensation in the sump ( salad cream syndrome ) 100 degrees is needed to eliminate water vapour from the oil . It is fine to do this as long as you change the oil every 5000 miles max before it goes to salad cream

Sorry for being an knob but where do you fit the oil temp sender ??? Any help would be nice.

 

[Beaniesbcfc]

I think i have it

Mine goes between 90-100 but had it over 130 on the track so backed off
There is a handy spare port on top of the filter housing for fitting

I could not get the blanking plug out and opted for a sandwich plate

 

[Beaniesbcfc]

same hear it just will not move so it's a sandwich plate for me too.
