Crazy oil temperature

Featured Replies

Hi everyone and hope you're doing well

I have unexpected warnings lights last night and specially the oil temp gauge....

My wife recorded the video

Never touch the phone during driving please 

Spoiler

 

 

 

Have you physically checked the oil level?

 

Thanks. AG Falco

Yes ...

Tbh today  the oil gauge not playing crazy and cruise control working

I think is been strange weird electric issue

Anyway next week is for oil change and will mention with dealer...

 

Mention it before the car goes in for a service.

As in let the service desk people know there is an issue needs addressing and what that is. 

I think the sensor on the bottom of the sump.

Is the heat shield there?

Undertray?

 

Thanks. AG Falco

I'm not sure AGFalco

Sensor(s), gauge, electric connections, electric wires, computer or computer program issues - as Rooted has put mention it before the car goes in.

 

You could see if your car has any (admitted by VW) Recalls, you can do an online check here. - https://www.skoda-auto.com/services/recall-campaigns

Hello @SkodaManiaq!

 

I am having the exact same issue. I have taken it to a dealer, but they said they could not find any fault codes. The problem goes away after turning off and on the car (you might have to wait 10 minutes before turning it back on).

 

I have checked the oil level and it looks fine and what I find even more weird is that this issue keeps going on even when the engine is turned off.

 

The dealer told me that I should leave the car with them for a few days so they could do some kind of remote diagnosis with engineers from Skoda, but I did not have the chance.

 

Can you please keep me updated if you find a solution?

 

I believe we have the same car, Skoda Kodiaq 2.0 TDI 4x4 200hp, facelift, bought in 2022. Mine has been bought from a local Romanian dealer.

Hello, yesterday I had the same problem, I was driving behind a truck in the rain and the ACC system error popped up (probably something was dirty), then the oil temperature went crazy.

Hi there

My car is been checked through dealership and nothing wrong not any fault codes....

@SkodaManiaqIt was you that posted about the issue, if something is not wrong then lets word it as something was not right.

 

Just because the man from Del-Monte has a device with no codes logged is not a sign all is well.

 

At least you have reported an issue within your Manufacturers Warranty.

Same result here. I am approaching the 60k km milestone, so I am due for an oil change soon (and I believe DSG & Haldex too).

 

I will let you know if the dealership manages to fix the issue.

The Haldex is @ 3 years / 30,000 miles - 48,000 km.

 

A DQ381 DSG service @ 130,000 km or sooner.

(SOONER might be best done properly as there are a growing number of these having failures.)

 

and if a DQ500 @ almost 65,000 km.

@SkodaManiaq did you have this problem happen to you anymore?

  • Author

Hi there 

Yes unfortunately 

Been twice to Skoda and they can't find anything 

@SkodaManiaq IME a fluctuation like that (based on your OP) is caused by a bad sensor, but not detected by the EMS because it doesn't go out of limits.

 

Software engineer speaking.

I absolutely understand it

The solution is just stop somewhere lock the car for 10 minutes and afterwards is like nothing happened...

Strange

@SkodaManiaq I visited the dealership again today while the problem was happening and the technicians have replaced the oil level & temperature sensor.

 

The problem should be fixed now, but I will let you know if it still happens. :)

I confirm, I also ended up replacing the oil level sensor, so far everything is fine

I'm just wondering if it's possible that they would damage something when servis changing the oil or if it just broke down😁

Depending on the age of your car it's more likely poor quality stock of sensors, possibly a change of supplier, or hangover from covid times or stock, or VW trying to save cents or fractions (decimal places) on individual and overall car building costs, or to help cover past "errors" and "mistakes" or to fund current distractions or "directions".

 

My car started exhibiting this behaviour when it was only a few months and ~2000km old. I think it was a batch of faulty sensors and I hope it has been resolved now. :)
