I run a stage 1 tune and a Milltek cat-back exhaust on my 2.0TDI DSG, harvesting 205whp and 424NM on a SuperFlow WinDyn. Today was the first day that i was able to push it hard on the highway and I noticed that when flooring it and keeping it there, my oil temp gets from 100C to 120C in about 1min.When stock, the car would not pass 116C when worked hard. Obviously I panicked a bit, did not want to push it harder to see if and where the oil temp would stabilize,but by the looks of it it would still be climbing if i did not ease on the throttle. So I let it coast to a lower safe speed to cool the oil.The temp dropped back to 100C within a few minutes and stays at 98-99 under light loads. This does not work well for me given the fact that i have mountainous regions in my country and a lot of trips will involve climbing hills with the boot fully loaded.
I think that my oil cooling capabilities are unable to handle this amount of power in a safe manner.Before thinking about oil coolers and stuff, I noticed that my oil pan is plastic (cheap VW engineering), so i found a nice aftermarket upgrade from Wortec. It is made of cast aluminum and has nice cooling fins around it.They say it will lower your oil temps by about 10-15C and add an extra liter of oil to it which is absolutely perfect .The downside is that it is for the GTI and R. I looked at some pictures on the internet and it seems by the looks of it that the OEM oil pans are the same size and shape for both the 2.0TDI and 2.0TSI engines.Can anyone confirm this, or does anyone else have any other suggestions how to increase the oil cooling capabilities. There are plenty of Stage 1 TDI by now, did any one else noticed these increased oil temps under heavy loading? It's almost winter now and i hate to see the oil temps climb even more in hot season.
This is a real show stopper for me, as i have a GTD1449VZ turbo from a rear ended GTD along with it's better injectors and ECU to copy the software from.Now i'm holding off on installing it until i can get the oil temps steady within optimal values.
