noticed the mfa oil temp is reading 120plus when in traffic & cools down when on a run, but gets hotters the faster the cars driven..

 

I no its been warm weather but wondering if the oil cooler on its way out?? any ideas???

I'd have a look at your cooling system first mate I had to put a new rad in the other week and that helped considerably I'm running between 70 & 100 now - sorted :wink:

yep, it's a doddle mate, there's just one thin big nut underneath when you remove the oil filter, then it's just the two water hoses. If yours is original it'll be pretty sha99ed by now. You might want to get a new seal for the new one though, goes between oil filter housing and the exchanger

32.50 from GSF, I got mine free from my dad when he worked for Skoda, they're used on Octavias, be interesting to see how much a Skoda dealer would charge for one.

 

GSF opened within walking distance from me in Northampton - RESULT!

Got a new rad myself recently made a huge difference to overall temps down 10% - I moved the horns down under the bumper also for a better airflow to the rad.
