    For normal driving it sits on 84 nearly all the time. Into the low 90's if I push it. I did a 'spirited' run through the royal national park and made it to 105.

    Mine seems to sit between 95-100 on the freeway, city driving I haven't really monitored, will have to take a look.

    May well be oil used also ?

    The two engines are very different so not surprising they run different temperatures.

    My MKV GTI used to run around 90 celsius though

    I topped her up before i left , non used with 1500km , have added in 8500km about 1 litre .

    The 08 occy RS never used any oil till about 10,000km .

    Funny i miss that gruffy bad boy sound of the RS stage1 , MK6 just less mean .

    Oil temp in Tiggy hit 112 one day over Christmas road trip coming home from S.A. It was 45 outside, had the roof rack loaded up & was sitting on 110. It's normally on 100, may go up to around 104 on a spirited run.

    Tig 115 up the Glouster Mountains (NSW) warm day but not over 30. Big mountain drive. Had to stop at a look out to give it a breather (leaving the engine on).
