Re: a6
You mean oil temperature? There is definitely something wrong if yours is
showing 180 degrees celsius. My temperature meter starts from 60 degrees,
and normal is somewhere around 80 degrees when engine is warm, if I remember
correct. Could the oil temperature sensor be faulty? I don't know where it
gets the reading .

Re: a6
Sami,
I believe that the normal oil temperature should be over 100 degrees to burn
off condensation and the like. 80C sounds more like coolant than oil temp.

It doesn't take 100 deg. C for water to start evaporating. I mean, leave a
glass of water in a room temperature, and it'll eventually evaporate, too.
FYI, the oil in my 1.8T engine (A4) always ran at about 80-85 deg. C. I had
the used oil analyzed many times, and it never indicated that water was
present. I kept asking my dealer and AoA about this temp, and they always
said that this temp falls well in what they consider "normal" operating
range.
