PDR Video Display
Have read manual with instructions on PDR overlay display etc. Manual does not mention anywhere that PDR shows oil pressure. We drive car in Sport mode all the time and our PDR display only gives Speed;RPM;current gear and lateral G Force.
Question: Can the PDR be set to display the oil pressure on video? If so, how is this accomplished?.
Reason for question: Our early Production 2015 A8 had a rapid RPM fluctuation in cruise control with engine surge and rapid oil pressure fluctuation from 40 to 30 and up to 50 and 60 PSI for approx. 2 to 3 miles recently. PDR (which we turn on each time we drive) only showed the rapid RPM fluctuation at 41 MPH in 7th gear. Would have been nice to have oil pressure fluctuation shown on display to share info with tech.
Dealer has identified a TC problem (as mentioned by several on this forum) and has ordered a new TC to be installed next week. Would like to program our PDR to display oil pressure; Any help is appreciated.

Temperatures and pressures are not possible for the video overlay. However, if you have the Cosworth tool box, you can playback your PDR video in the Cosworth tool box. There might be a way to show the oil pressure there (I'm not a tool box expert). The tool box does keep track of maximum and minimum parameters such as: tire pressures, tire temperatures, oil pressure, oil temperature, engine coolant temperature, transmission temperature.
