I have heard R engines run cooler...

I'd have to agree, I've driven it hard (never on a track), but never reached higher than 95C.

On the highway in 25-30C I seem to settle around 88-90C.

YAY!

Normal 95

When I'm pushing on mountain 115 degrees.

Now I'm wainting to see my temperature on track...

Hot Climate Oil Temp

I run one in KSA (Saudi) even at 46C ambient the oil temp runs 98-108 C.... It will climb a few degrees up an incline at constant speed such as the Bahrain causeway ... fun to watch ! "Jeddai " (get it?!) has 30 kkm on him.

I'm geting from 95C to 113C (113C was max at track day). Also depends on weather.

Oil temp needs to get to 100 C to boil off water.

Depends on where its measured. More than likely in and around the motor the temp is sufficient to remove the residual moisture that develops when the car is not being driven.

The way my temps go up and down is similar to the Golf R now.

It's usually sitting around 98c and can climb to 104 if I push it a lot

The Mocal plate has a thermostat and won't give full flow unless needed.

Guys, are you familiar with the Polar Fis ? This gives you all the car information live. Same as the Vagcom but it does not store the data.
