Is there anyway an A3/S3 can show oil temp somewhere without installing an aftermarket dial? My old '87 Jetta had one, so why doesn't this one? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

There must be someway of displaying the oil temp. Can't believe it isn't monitired by the car somewhere what with the turbo and all.

Yeah, it's a bit odd that there's a spot for an oil temp unit, but Audi (in their infinite wisdom) opted to leave it empty /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif The part that the oil filter screws into has a spot for the temp sensor, you just have to remove a plug to fit it /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
Haven't done it myself, but doesn't look TOO hard /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/angel.gif

Bunch of eijuts.
So does the car not monitor oil temp at all then? When do you guys start giving giving your car a bit of stick after a cold start? I've been running mine up to 3K rpm, whcih seems quick enough to get you somewhere without ragging it, until the coolant guage gets to 90. I think thats warm enough to give it more stick. But there is always a thought at the back of my mind that the oil warm up slower than coolant. At least it does on NA cars.

About 5-10 minutes behind depending on weather/driving style. I couldn't believe the 1.8T didn't have one, cos my old A4 2.8Q has one.
