[s-cars] reading codes- VAG-COM vs climate control

[Abhijit Kondajji]

I apologise but I do have an oil temp. gauge that seems to read really
low temps. I've rarely seen it go beyond the 70 ish line and well, it
is disconcerting to realise it may be way off. My ex-car had a pretty
high temp. reading always and I guess I am hesitant to believe that
the Ur-S runs such low oil temps. especially with a turbo.

The AM gauge would be a standalone judge, per my thinking.

Regards,
Abhijit
