Einbauort für Öltemperatursensor gesucht | Posts 16+

I'm a camper with a trailer weighing 1300kg, and I often travel in the Alps.
I don't think the warning light would truly reassure my conscience; rather, I want to respond to the engine's operating conditions with my driving style.
And having my co-driver put their VCDS (presumably a device) on their lap for the entire trip isn't really my style, because we prefer to look out the window!!

Sure, here is the translation of the text from German to English:

It's enough to use VCDS once to find the maximum possible oil temperature, and then it works perfectly well without any unnecessary complications.
If you have an oil temperature gauge, do you still need to look out the window when driving uphill?

Since I know that my Toledo, when loaded with 1500 kg of camping equipment (I like to camp in the wild), doesn't exceed 130°C in temperature, I'm choosing not to do it.
It has been performing flawlessly for the past 330,000 kilometers.

Hi.

There's a device from Kufatec that displays the oil temperature on the dashboard (if the additional module is working).

Hello,

It would be interesting to know which car it is, because the BKD engine has a "longlife" oil system and therefore already has a corresponding sensor in the oil pan. For example, in the Audi A3 8PA, you can view the oil temperature in the Multifunction Display (MFA) without any modifications.

Best regards, Rainer.

I have an oil temperature sensor installed. I don't want to tap into this one, in order not to influence the MSG, but rather, a second, redundant measurement should be performed.

From there, ...

If it's already installed, I would just tap into it. If this isn't completely messed up, then at worst, the service calculation will be incorrect, or the emergency program will be activated due to an excessively high/implausible oil temperature.
