Does anyone know if its possible to map the car (revo/apr or other) so that it is impossible to drive the car hard when the oil isn't fully warmed up?

Reason is my fiancé is a bit of a girl racer and I'm pretty sure she gives the car full bore down a local dual carriage way on the way to work when she (occasionally and now rarely) borrows my car!

Cheers

Four pages later, it would appear the answer was "no".

Would it?  Maybe read the thread again  :wink:

All our high power maps for 1.8t and tfsi limit the power when engine temp/ oil if cold.  Car feels flat as a fart for first 6-7mins of driving from cold.

I stand corrected

Four-and-a-half pages on, it appears the answer is "yes".

But I still lost the will to live.
