I've read reports on bad fuel con for the 1.6 TDI.

As for the oil temp if I cruise at 70mph on a motorway and I switch to oil temp on the MFD is show 96 C its all relative to speed and load on the engine.  :wink:

Cruising at 70 is barely a load on the engine at all until you are accelerating. :wink:

Diesels are heat engines, they will naturally run hotter than normal, usual operating temps are 80-100degrees.

Yes all engines are heat engines. The closer to 100 C your can run the engine the more efficient it is.

That wasn't my point the OP asked about the oil temp.  :wink:

As people on here know I work for vw, I have driven every type of mk6 tdi. The 1.6tdi is an awful engine, I had a revo'd mk6 gtd last year and that was more economical than any 1.6 tdi or blue motion I have driven since. Had a customer reject the car after delivery because he was so disappointed with it and swap from 2.0 140 now he is getting better economy.
