Normal Engine Temp

Hey all!
First Post WOOT! Now thats out of the way... Im a new Audi owner and just have a question on the normal temperature my 2000 A6 2.7t should read at. Its reading around 200F now when fully warmed. It seems like it is a little low. Any info is helpful.

Thanks!

I thought there is no actual degrees designation on the engine temp gauge... the oil gauge is the one with degrees. And no, as far as oil temp goes, it is normal for it to be way on the left side of dial.

To be honest, I am not sure what one would have to do to get that hand even to middle of dial.... I think some models without oil cooler (you have one) might be able to manage that.

To get the oil temperature to 250o, simply run the car at 90-120 mph on a warm day for about 20 miles. Otherwise regular driving results in just over 200o and spirited driving in a little over 225o. The water temperature gauge should sit at 12:00 high.
