Engine Oil Temp Sensor Fault
Richn83:
Hey Kevin,
did you get the oil temp sensor sorted? I dont get an error code but I get -60 on my oil temp and no oil level form my car, I dont get an error code on mine as I dont think mine had it from factory but I have been wondering if it can be retro fitted is the sensor and wiring obvious if you get under the car and look at the sump?

I had the dealer check it at the last service. They said the sensor is dead. They told me they had one but when they went to fit it, it turned out to be the wrong sensor. Ill have it changed during the next oil change. They said they are a common failure.
If you look at the sump Rich, you will be able to see if you have it.

Cheers Kevin, Will have a look under the car think I have managed to find a google image of one (looks odd) as you have one which is working then you will be getting the oil temp from it on the Polar unit (its what im trying to diagnose with mine as I get no reading) Im guessing retro would be expensive as you need a new sump :scared:

Just to close this up the fault was caused by me fitting Highline clocks from a US spec car that didnt have the sensor fitted.
I fixed it by changing channel 39 in adaptions for the cluster from 0 to 1.
