Golf VI R :: Enabling Oil Temp Display On MFD?


Feb 3, 2012

I was curious what it would take to enable the oil temp display on the MFD in the US Golf R similar to my Mk3 or on Golf Rs in other markets. I'll just mention up front, that to enable this would be (a) a fair amount of cost and work for something of marginal value, and (b) can be done easily with an external gauge instead. That said, here's what I've come up with so far:

The instrument cluster in the US Golf R is capable of displaying oil temperature. This can be enabled through VAG-COM by changing the coding of the cluster to state that a TOG sensor is connected to the cluster. However, since the car is not equipped with the oil temp sensor, no temperature will display and a fault code will be logged.

The oil temp/level sensor is called "TOG" (Temperatur Oelstands Geber or Temperature / Oil Level Transmitter) and is used in many VAG products. It bolts into the oil pan.

To install this, we would need to replace the oil pan with an oil pan from a Golf R which is equipped with a TOG (part#?).

Not sure the part number of the TOG for the Golf R. And example of a TOG part number is 03C907660M, but I'm not sure which version is needed. A couple of misc parts (bolts, cover) may also be needed.

I suspect the sensor would then need to be wired to the instrument cluster (as opposed to the ECU or other controller). I'm not sure what the wiring for the TOG is, but I suspect it might need power, ground and then run a signal wire to the cluster. It appears to be pretty easy to remove the cluster and gain access to the cluster wiring. On other VWs, it hasn't been difficult to add a wire into the cluster connector. But we'd need to know the pin-outs of the instrument cluster to figure out where it should go.

I saw a TOG sensor wiring harness part number of 8D0-971-379B which may or may not be useful.

Touareg :: 2011 - Enabling DVD Display While Driving?

Is there anyway to enable the DVD display while driving? Dealer scan? When driving the monitor does not display due to safety.

Obviously my wife and I would not watch while driving, but we were hoping our passengers could watch a DVD on long trips, etc.

Passat (B6) :: A/C Not Working - Temp Display Blank

I just picked up my car from the body shop and noticed the outdoor temp display in the MFD blank (3 dashes) and the AC is blowing hot air. I don't hear the compressor going on either. The AC was working fine until I brought it in. (Why does it always end up like this?!)

Since this was an insurance claim due to a motorcyclist hitting the front driver panel and ripping off a portion of the bumper, the body shop said they didn't touch anything with the AC.

I'm bringing the car back in tomorrow morning so they can have a look and determine whether it was loss related. Is there a sensor in that area? What to check? I have the manual climate system (climactic?).

Prius V :: Scratches On Temp Control Display?

Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: Outside Temp Display Being Way Off

Having issue with the outside temperature display being way off. It doesn't do it all the time, but does seem to happen if I've been plowing or something. I think I've had it happen in the summertime also, but can't remember the circumstances. Basically it must be happening because I'm not moving much air. Where the sensor is located, and could there be something that may be blocking the air flow? I know this is a piddlely little problem, but if it's easily remedied, I'd would really like an accurate reading.

Phaeton :: 2004 - Outside Temp On Display Will Increase To Over 100F While Sitting In Traffic

My 2004 phaeton outside temperature reading will increase to over 100F while I'm sitting in traffic when the temp is in the 60s 70s.... Highest I've seen is 102F... I wonder how high the display will go when summer comes around. Where is the sensor located? Could engine heat affect the sensor? While driving the temp reads about 5 degrees to high.

Chevrolet - 1500 :: Heater Display / Location Of Air Flow / Temp / Fan Flickers And Changes On Its Own

Chevy Silverado.. The display of heat, location of air flow, temperature and fan flickers and changes on its own. Sometimes it works fine and blows out nice warm air. Other times it goes out completely and I have no control over any of it. It will just blow cold air. If I turn the head lights on it sometimes makes it go out completely. I have had the relay switch changed out and that was not the problem.

Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: Overhead Temp And Direction Display Flashing

I have a 2000 F-150 5.4 SC 4x4 XLT. It has the overhead temperature and direction display. It has started flashing randomly. I don't know how to describe it, but I have a couple videos. Sometimes it doesn't illuminate at all for a while. What is messed up to cause this and could excessive water splashing cause it. It started after going down my driveway which ha water running deep in both tracks the whole 1/2 mile.

There are two videos but one isn't wanting to embed.

Ford Excursion :: Overhead Temp Shows -40 / AC Display Works Fine

I just picked up an 05 6.0 Limited and love it, but I can't figure out the overhead temperature gauge. It shows -40 degrees no matter what, but if I hit the outside temp button on the climate control, it shows the (mostly) correct temp. I verified that the temp sensor in front of the radiator is still there and hooked up, and it seems to me that Ford wouldn't go to the expense of using separate sensors for each readout, so I'm guessing that the problem is in the overhead unit itself. All of the other functions (compass, mileage, range) work just fine. I've seen several threads about the overhead dying completely as chips rattle loose. Is it also common for just specific functions to go out as things start to shake apart?

Ford 7.3L Power Stroke (1999-2003) :: Outside Temp Sensor For Overhead Display

For some reason my OH display decided to show 140 deg F when its 40 deg F outside. Continues to show 140 all the time now regardless of out side temp. In case its the related outside temp sensor sending unit, where it is exactly on an 02. Unless someone has solution may try changing that out to see if that is the problem?

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: External Temp Display Is Whacky

So I just bought a 2012 F250 with 28,300 on the clock. I was driving it home yesterday (500 miles) and I noticed that every time I shut the truck down the external temp display would display -40 F at start up and then gradually climb to whatever the ambient temp is, around 60F but in that 500 mile distance it seemed to be stuck at whatever the high was and not drop unless I stopped the truck and powered it off and we would start at -40 again.

Where I should start troubleshooting this? I have some factory powertrain warranty left but this will not fall under that so I need to fix it myself and there is nothing in the owners manual about this. It is a crew cab long box, with the 6.2, XL package but has all of the benefits of an XLT it just has vinyl floors.

Also going under "gauge mode", it shows tranny and engine oil temp, move over one position it shows compass, and move over third, it shows nothing. What this third position is supposed to be for?

Passat (B5) :: Engine Coolant Temp / Fuel Gauges And Outside Temperature Display All Stopped Working

My '04 Passat 4Motion (station wagon) engine coolant temperature gauge, fuel gauge, and outside temperature display all stopped working in the same time. Interestingly enough, car has 32K miles and just ran out of manufacturer warranty 2 months ago.

What could be happening? Should I be checking fuse box or this may be related to some more serious failure?
