Is This Right ??????? Oil Temp And Engine temp

[mango]

I was just wondering if anyone could help me the other day i was driving along the road and noticed my engine temp was going over 90oC in all my previous cars i have never known the needle to go over 90oC mark. I thought the fan would kick in to cool it back down to 90oC but i did not hear the fan kick in at all can anyone tell me if this is normal and is it normal for my oil temp to rise above 100oC-110oC degrees and could you also tell me where the fuse diagram is for a passat b6 59plate as i want to check the fuse for the fan thanks

My fan never seems to kick in, the aircon one does, but I'm unsure if the other one is electric anyway, it could be powered by the air coming through the rad, temp guage hasn't ever gone over the 12 o'clock mark though.

thanks it dose it when i come to a stop in traffic its only started the last 2 days but i fort the fan was ment to kick in and cool it back down the book says it can go to 120 then u will get a warning but i have had a few vws and never seen the temp guage ever go over 90oc mark even after iv been driving for 6 hours and the oil temp on the mfd is 110oc dose any one know what there oil temp reads at after driving for few hours

The coolant temp shouldn't go much over 90C because it reads 90C when the temp is between 80 - 100 C roughly. So the fan should kick in if the guage tries to rise. It is possible the fan fuse has blown. A VCDS read should show what is happening.

As far as oil temp goes I don't think I've ever seen mine go over 105 degrees, usually running between 95 to 102 degrees area, regardless of outside weather.

ok i have vag-com so if i hook i up just do a scan it will let me kno if someit aint right i was not sure as its only a fuse and i have no warning on dash but to think of it i have never herd the fan have owned the car for 3 weeks now. but have had some things fitted like cd player/h7 lights what wud happen if i let it rise to 120 right to the end ...i just put the hot air on full blast and it gose back down asap

and thanks for the oil temp when i got the car 3 weeks ago i have all ways seen the oil temp at 100oc to 110oc and i fort this is hot as i have a 207 and that sits at 90oc

dose any one know where the fuse is for the rad fan ..

[martin1810]

VCDS will show temperatures and fan status. Fuse should be F23 (SB23) in the black box in the engine bay. If not F23, try F8. The fuse often blows when the manifold flap motor/linkage goes wrong.

anychance of a diagram as i have looked but can not find one.. and have no clue what fuse is what thanks

and 2moz ill plug the vag com in see if anythink comes up off a scan

That's my experience, too. Did see 120 degrees driving up big mountain passes in the French Pyrenees last month with ambient temps.around 70 and the engine working moderately hard. Probably due to the relatively low road speeds and consequent low/slow airflow over the oil cooler.

120 deg C oil temp is no problem with a good quality oil. Wouldn't want to see it go much over 130 deg C for any significant length of time though.
