yes, you can access it through KOMBI (gauge cluster). search on youtube, i remember seeing a video there once showing how to do it.
note: it looks like a total PITA if you have to go through that process every time you want to see water temp.

Sounds like a PITA to me as well, I've just spent about half an hour searching the instruction book trying to find how much oil it holds without success. I'm beginning to regret buying this car, i think there's more information available on cruise missiles!!! hacked OFF. paneuro

Paneuro - the simplest way I've found is to purchase this from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and use the Torque app. On the Torque app is a water temperature gauge that will read the coolant temp in real time.
