Hi

Does anybody know if it's possible to read out oil temperature from one of the OBD readers. I tow a 1000kg folding camper and although the car behaves perfectly it would be nice to know if the oil temperature rises from normal..

Sorry don't know your car, but as its based on the Audi A4 (b8) I had a quick look at the Audi and its possible to put the oil temp on your FIS screen, if that is true then simple OBD Reader (that does more than just read error codes).

Do you have anybody near you with OBD11 or VCDS who would be able to have a quick look and confirm.

Taking the instrument panel out is easy, just 2 screws and 5 mins of your time
