I decided to pull some info off my trans since I'm toying with the idea of doing fluid changes on the drivetrain, and I was curious to see how it's dealing with temps. I'm also about to do some landscaping this weekend and have an estimated 3k worth of river rock which I'll be towing for about 1.5hrs at freeway speeds and am curious to see how much this activity will stress the system.

Vehicle is my bone stock '14 TDI, neutered, original fluids, ~96K (miles) on clock.
Here's a log from my daily work commute, with a touch of hooliganism added in for experimental purposes.
Log #580532

Also, came across some interesting MVBs which would be good to know about when you're shopping for a vehicle in order to determine how it has lived up to that point.

172 kmh on daily commute

Those lifetime max data measurements and time above 3000 rpm are interesting I must look up on my Treg

I did mention some hooliganism for experimental purposes......

Here's a short sample of said towing. I shut down the log/monitoring in under 1/2h as nothing was worth keeping an eye on.

30deg C ambient temp, towing 5x10 open trailer with river rock and random supplies, and TV full of 2 adults, one dog and lots of stuff.

The log viewer is being weird and I can't figure why off my phone, so you'll have to click on the 2nd group to see good chart. I'll try to clean it up when I get back to a computer.

The viewer is splitting the data into 3 for some reason, so just make sure you select the middle section at the top of the log if you want to see anything that makes sense.... here's a screen shot of what you should be seeing if looking at the correct chart

There are piles and piles of very useful historical data that can be found if you look. Knowing where and what to look for when considering a used vehicle for example would be a great asset to validate how it was used and or abused, etc.

Thanks for highlighting all this historical information

my maximum transmission temp was 103C
