any ideas if an oil temp sensor can be fitted to a TDI 110 engine. Since the turbo incident considering one to keep on top of temperatures in the car. Is there equivalent of point 10 on the TDI oil filer housing

Spot on ED 120-130 ish is o.k but 150+ and your pushing it, miles will take the tole and it will shear, i still say 5-6K oil changes on a modded lcr 5K makes sense as 1/2 way to sevice/oil change anyhow, and yes isay this even running SLX, now castrol edge BTWedc said:When this was raised months back I emailed my mate at Castrol and he told me that 150 deg C regularly on a road car will need very frequent oil changes even on a top spec oil.
Which is why I always changed my oil every 5k miles...edc said:When this was raised months back I emailed my mate at Castrol and he told me that 150 deg C regularly on a road car will need very frequent oil changes even on a top spec oil.
neil it is chipped/modded motors that reach these temps, standard anywhere arround 100 deg c mateneil_f225 said:but surely seat would have tested the engine/oil in excess of these temps if they are recommending 10k miles service interval. Some of the vw/audis are even longer with their variable limits.
Although I changed the oil on mine every 10k before it was chipped, as it probably wasn't driven quite as VAG intended all the time...vern said:neil it is chipped/modded motors that reach these temps, standard anywhere arround 100 deg c mate![]()
