Coolant Temperature

[Bowlerwell]

I'm reading just over 60 for coolant and oil on the motorway...
Is this normal?

@Bowlerwell - as said, the scale on the water temps is messed up so what looks like ~60C is actually 87C. It's normal for me to see it 2-3 notches below 90 and has been for any S2. Quickly to 90+1 in traffic. New thermostat recently fitted on my RS2 as well.

Oil I see 60 or just above, getting toward 90 with a bit of fun. Never driven the RS2 hard enough sustained to see it rise more, but at the nurburgring in the Coupe I backed off for a couple of miles when temps were approaching 130... was using Millers 10-60 at the time so probably not a concern.
