Displayed Oil Temperature.. accurate?

The Mk1 cooler is brilliant.. dropped my ol,d 8v temp right down.

I never boot my car until it's hit 70... i have hit 150 on track though!

 

Mine indicates between 90 and 120 in normal driving but the readings tend to flick around as the MFA updates when the temp is above 100.

I changed the sender which made no difference and the water temp is normal. I saw occasional readings in the 130s on the motorway during the summer but only for a couple of secs before it skipped back down to 115 - 120 ish.

I just assumed that the MFA was a bit scatty. Any ideas on a fix ?

 

Clean up the sender connection and crimp the spade connector a bit tighter, if it's a bit loose it can send the readings all over the place.
