Loop GTI 0 Posted April 23, 2004 i have a 2 litre 16v corrado and my oil temp goes up to 110 on the MFA computer. i dont think that is quite right. the water temperature doesn't go above 100. anyone have any ideas why my oil temp is going so high it would be much appreciated. cheers :?

PhatVR6 0 Posted April 23, 2004 My 8v used to regularly get up to 110 on a fast run. nothing to worry about. when it hits 140 then slow down... I've seen coolant temps go over 100 too without causing any problems. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevemac 0 Posted April 23, 2004 Ideal oil temp is around 95-100 degrees, 115-120 is the limit before having to fit an oil cooler. Although there is a relationship between oil & water temps, water system has a radiator to cool it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daves16v 1 Posted April 23, 2004 As another 16v owner to set your mind at rest, my C's temps behave exactly as yours does. Highest oil temp I've had is 112 in traffic and comes down when moving. Not had any probs so far. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted April 23, 2004 yeah, my old 16V corrado used to have almost identical temps to that... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rossco 0 Posted April 23, 2004 If it really bothers you buy a new radiator when i did temps dropped significantly and it was only £50 from GSF 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
