oil temp changing when switching on lights
noticed a problem today with the digital oil temp (in the 83 gti). It normally reads around 98, but when i put my headlights on, the temp jumps up by 18 degrees. If i then dim the green dash lights, the temp falls by 6 degrees.
It just occurs to me now, but it hasnt been driven in a while (3/4 weeks) and was pretty sluggish starting, so maybe low battery power related? I went for a good long drive, so hopefully that should have toppped up the battery. Touch wood.
cheers
