Acceptable oil pressure and oil temperature at track days??

[Sirocco20348]

(I don't have the bentleys that specifically mentions AGU, but the AEB is a similar DBC big port 1.8t)

However, in the Bentley guide for the AEB motor it specifies...
Oil pressure at idle (hot?) minimum 29psi, and range of 43-65psi @2000rpm (80deg Celsius).

From what I have read if oil pressure is greater than 100psi @ max rpm there is some concern.

but in the Bentley guide for the AEB and ATW motors it specifies...

From what I have read if you pushing greater than 100psi on full throttle there is some concern.

The oil pressure warning light should go off with pressure between 1.2 and 1.6 BAR. 2.7-4.5 BAR is normal at 80 degrees. At higher engine speeds pressure must not exceed 7BAR. Quoted from the BJX engine manual. There's a 12 BAR pressure relief in the oil pump.

7bar is 101.5 psi.. brilliant. Thanks for that Gavin!

Further to this, I found this Russian document on volkswagen.msk.ru:
Volkswagen Golf IV - Bora 1998-2000: Petrol engine with two overhead camshafts (rus.) Repair of engines: AHW, AKQ, APE, AXP, ATN, AUS, AGN, AGU, AQA, ARZ

Once translated, on the 2nd page (lucky for me) it mentions the lubrication requirements..

@ operating temperature
idle - 2.0 bar (29psi)
At 2000 rev / min: 3.0 - 4.5 bar (43psi - 65psi)

This matches the bentley information for the AEB and is very close to the BJK requirements posted by Gavin.
