Best Answer

my experience and common accepted "wisdom" with the 1.8T (mine is 2001 VW) is that normal Temps are 200-250 with 300 being the to high warning particularly with conventional oil and 200 being the low limit for the oil to effectively lubricate and capture dirt/contaminents. Synthetics can survive the higher temps but at that point the engines thermal manaement is not able to keep temps under control. The use of the larger filter on mine coupled with the factory oil cooler I never see higher than 240 and I am highly modded (larger turbo etc)
