Seat Alhambra Oil Temperature

[jlsmithPH]

Hi all,
I have a new Seat Alhambra 2.0 TDI 177 and it is registering oil temps of over 100 degrees C. I have tried to find normal ranges on the internet but drawn a blank. Is anyone able to advise if this is within the normal range?
Thanks,
Jonathan

My old company Passat which had the same engine as yours used to hit a high of 108C while doing a regen on the motorway, Normal driving on the motorway about 102C

100 degrees is spot on.

Ok It is on the back of an old post but my 2.0 tdi 2011 (new) Alhambra oil temperature is running hot and even after a short run the fans on the car run 2-19 mins after are full tilt.

By hot the oil temperature on the car shows up to 120, and on the last run the dog light came on and then after a stop and set off it had gone so not an issue (and soot levels are low). The water temperature is steady at 90.

Any ideas as to what’s going on please?

the dpf is regening or is having issues regening IMO

the fans running on and the high oil temps both point to a dpf regen.

in one of your pics is that the dpf light on? so that means its trying to regen but failing ?

I'm on my third VW group CR diesel and I've never seen 120 degrees or the dpf light. Normal driving is low 90's, spirited driving is low 100's. Think I once saw 116 degrees but that was driving in a manner I'd rather not discuss on a public forum.

Thanks for the reply, I think it is dpf regen but with soot levels low a dpf regen is not needed. I ran a manual regen before my current trip and am away for a week in wales and am towing a caravan 1000kg braked weight so not heavy. Now I’ve a egr issue coming up, I’ve only a Bluetooth scanner and my phone and all I can get from it is that there is a malfunction with the egr solenoid circuit raw code 0403 and 00131B. I can clear them but there are odd things with the car. On idle it’s showing the relative throttle position varying between 70-90% and the egr error and duty I’ve not looked at them before so I don’t know what’ normal’ is.

Do you think an egr replacement would sort the issue or is the oil temperature caused by something else?

Any help please :-)
