New GTI- no oil temp ? - Sorted!
« on: 19 February 2011, 17:54 »
I was going to wait until March but couldn't take it any longer and decided to pick it up. It's beautiful and feels great. I can't quite get over how good the DSG box is. Everything seems to be working well apart from the oil temperature display on the MFD. It says "--- C", even after an hour's drive. Has anyone seen this before?

Mine takes a while to show but it should show after an hours driving unless your in the artic. I know its cold in Manchester but not that cold  :grin:
As buck says the cars are sent over to the dealers with minimum things turned on as the system is in transportation mode to save the battery while in storage/docks etc. The dealers have to enable and turn things on when it gets to them during the PDI. I would take it to your nearest VW dealer when you have 5 mins and get them to check why its off. It maybe just a sensor or wire issue.
If it was me i would be checking fluid levels etc just to make sure nothing else during PDI was missed.

I think the other posters are all asking for photos as there is only 2 Shadow blue GTIs and one GTD on here. :smiley: Its quite a rare colour for the GTI.

Mine shows the temp at around 50-60 C, takes 5 minutes or so.

Back to the dealer, they'll sort it.
