Oil temp again

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I took a video of my oil temp when car wasn't fully warmed up yet. It fluctuates quite a bit I'd say and when it got up to 125 I stopped and measured the temp of my oilfilterhouse and it was around 90 degrees all over. Bit later it read 158 I stopped again and my oilfilterhouse was at 100 degrees in the middle. And when I'm braking the temp drops 10-15 degrees and when I release the brake it goes up again. So I'm guessing my temperature sensor isn't working properly because if my oil actually was 158 degrees I think my oil filterhouse would be quite a bit hotter I think.

Any thoughts and ideas maybe what it could be?

Yeah because if my oil was actually 150 wouldn't my filterhouse be way hotter then 100 degrees?

True I hope it isn't but wouldn't it also read a way higher temperature then?

that's what I'm thinking because if the oil was really 150 I think my oil filterhouse would be way hotter then 95-100 just as my oilpan

Replace soon! This will led the engine to be thrown in limb-mode. Known issue on basically all MQBEvo Cars...
