Taken the car on its first decent run in years yesterday. Edinburgh to Plockton and then up to Applecross and back to Plockton.
If my memory correct I think the normal oil temp is around 90C.
At points on the Applecross Pass the oil was up at 120C and would be mainly around 100C.
Today I noticed on start up the car sounds a bit ticky at idle and low revs on start up. The car was hot and I had the door open.
I am sure under hard boost with the window down the turbo sounds a bit louder too.
Any ideas?
Blocked sump pickup or a gasket leak?
