- Well, I hope you people are talking in Farenheit! Oil
- temperature indicated by th MFA in my '90 GTI (8V) is up to
- 125C during fast runs on hot (40C) days. Usually, it sits
- around 110C.
-
- Seeing that your oil temp is so low (below water boiling
- temp), I guess that you may have oil/water oil coolers.
- I don't.
-
- Fuel consumption is 7.6 to 7.8 l/100km, which includes about
- 60% non-city driving.
