Hi
Is it just me that can't fnd anything useful with the search function?
Anyway - my temperature seems to be fluctuating between 80 and 90 on the dashboard.
Any ideas?

I'd say that its just the temperature going up with the ambient air temp + usage, when it hits 90 the fans kick in and bring it back down again, then shut down, then the temp builds again and so on...
I wouldnt say its anything to worry about.

My RS4 was doing this - it's the thermostat. Had mine changed at the 80k service, and the problem is solved.
