I’ve just done a run out to Newbury and back and at an indicated 80mph the engine temp never went over 70º ish with a 20º ambient, so I dropped into my friendly dealership and purchased the most expensive thermostat ever ~£50 but it does come replete with a new housing, sender and seal! so when...

Quick question:
Are we supposed to let our tubro charged engines cool down before we switch off?
I've heard people do this on skoobys and impretzas etc. to prolong the life of the turbo, but is this something you do with every car fitted with a turbo?

Hi all. While driving around thought i would have a scroll through the menus and brought up engine temp. Seems to run at about 60c when warmed up and a bit lower on motorway. Heater seems ok. Looking at old threads 80c seems to be the norm. Have I got a thermostat problem?:mad:

My 2002 W203 C220 cdi estate has been running too cool for a while now. It used to sit at 80deg, over the last year it has been gradually cooling, it now sits at 50 degrees even after a 60 mile run.

Bought a set off eBay as one of my Philips extreme vision bulbs had popped.
According to AutoExpress they are the best of the white/blue Xenon wannabes, yet after 2 nights of use the beam looks exactly the same as the standard non-coloured Philips bulbs!
I have checked the bases of the bulbs...

I'm going on holiday next week with my W210 E280 and I plan to run one of those 12v cool boxes from the lighter socket in the boot.
Does anybody know, or know how to calculate, the most time I could run the cool box for without making the battery too flat to start the engine (if I run it...

Here's a real puzzler, these things always seem to happen to me :(
I bought a w210 2/3 weeks ago which I have been using as a daily driver without a hitch, no leaks, nothing.... until today.
I went out to do an oil change but first checked I had the right oil filter so i unbolted the hex cap...
