Do you have a link to the Power Gasket?

 

What are " turbo timers"?

What oil temperature one could reach the most?

 

What could be good turbo timer for 2.7T?
Does it go along with the immobilizer?

 

Hey Retard,

I hope when you say you warm up for 10 minutes, you are driving around. The owner's manual specifies not to warm up while parked. It goes so far as to say you shouldn't start up your car until you are ready to leave. I'm not sure if most people here know this, but I'm telling you it is right in the manual.

 

I live in cold Michigan (but keep the car garaged overnight). I only let it idle a couple minutes before driving off, but I definitely avoid any hard acceleration for the first 5 miles or so. That's more than enough to get the temp gauge centered but not usually enough to warm the oil to 175o. It's about 10 miles from the interstate to my house, which gives the car plenty of time to cool down after running a couple hundred miles at high speed.

 

4 ring, i've read this in my VW manual too... frankly, i believe that its part of their social responsibility to tell drivers not to warm up their cars before they drive... for environmental reasons.

Notice all the pretty flower asterisks in your manual....those are green ideas.

 

That makes sense. Thanks for the info Teutonic.

 

Generaly, the warm up period splits to two parts:
- providing oil gets to all over the engine
- the temperature increase for reduced fuel supply

Usually I idle till first turbo roar is over.

At low temperatures - - 20C/0F I let it run longer.
The engine noise is the major indication for me.
What is the highest oil temperature one could reach?
I’ve not gone beyond 90C/190F, usually 70-80C/160F-170F As I’m with Trip it would be hard to go beyond 3k rpm on the flats within the speed limits.

Teutonic, Aren’t you by any chance in Alberta

 

nope, nyc.

 

My car while hardly move if i jump in it and try an drive it without any warming up, acts as if it is struggling to move. Let it set for 3-4 minutes and it gets its legs.??????????
