Title: Engine Oil Temperature
Post by: LJS7 on 04 November 2013, 21:27

Hi Guys

Last night and today I have noticed that I can only view the engine oil temperature on my MFD intermittently. Sometimes it simply displays as '_ _ _'.
At first i thought it may have been because the temp was so low it didn't bother telling me, however, before it displayed at just 53 degrees.
Any suggestions people?

Cheers

If it's below 50C then it reads ----. Pretty much don't thrash it until you can read a number.
