It was only 18*C when I did those logs.
Failing water pump? I don't hear any odd noises and don't have a CEL.

well if you pushed the car and went WOT multiple times without rest inbetween, being chipped with stock IC, or drove at high speeds for a long time, then 115c sounds like fine to me.

I've done a few logs on oil temperature with my VCDS before and I sort of believe that the reading in VCDS is about 12c higher than the actual oil temperature.
There was one time I haven't drove my car for a few days so I decided to check the oil temp before starting the car. I've noticed the ambient temperature is around ~21c but the oil temp says ~33c.
Yesterday I just took a random log of driving home after work and the highest the oil temp got was 111c. Outside weather was about 0c and it was just a normal highway drive.
Last year during a track event the highest the oil temp got was 121c on a summer day ~20c.
Also I think when oil temps start to get into high 130c is when it starts to become a concern. Water temp should be fine until it reaches around 110c.

Wow I have never seen 100 C. Max I saw maybe between 92-93. Even when it almost 40 C outside
That's on Golf R
You dont drive it hard.
Push it 3-4 runs on day time and you will see 108 at least
With stage2 power on stock GTI IC, 108 is a regular

My 118 TSI (1.4 L twincharger) has never gone above 102 deg oil temperature even when we have had the odd 40 degC days over summer. Most of the time it sits around 90 degC.
The main use for oil temp is by the dash computer as part of the algorithm that calculates oil life if extended oil change intervals have been enabled. Unless the oil gets so hot that it loses the viscosity required to maintain oil pressure where its needed, the main effect of higher oil temperatures will be a reduction in oil life and the modern synthetics are pretty good in this area.
The 1.5 L turbocharged Rotax aero engines I have dealt with were good for 130 deg on the oil temp. The main problem would be if the oil temp got to the redline at the top of the climb then oil pressure would be low if the motor was throttled back to idle.

Man, I think it is normal in Qatar, this country is hot like hell...but anyway take it easy

It runs usually around 96-100 C. once I saw 113 C when hitting a hill in 35 C...

I have heard R engines run cooler...
99% of people wont even know that that feature exists, let alone how to use/read it.
that's how dumb rumors get started.
