1. When we say "engine temps" are we talking about engine oil temps, or coolant temps. They are both different things, and need more explanation. 
2. As for tranny temps on A4, what is normal ? I was running 180* on A4 with a B&M tranny cooler. But after adding the Transgo shift kit, I'm now running 215* in city driving and short distances.
