Hi guys,
Recently I have noticed that the running temperature of engine seems not right... I live in the midland and in UK winter weather the engine temperature guage indicates the engine constantly run at approximately 70 degrees after drive for about 100 miles (1.5 hours) on single carriageways (A roads). I read lots of other threads where most people say their engine constantly runs about 90 degrees, which is definitely different to my case. I was wondering if there's anything wrong with my engine or if I should replaced the thermostat as most people recommend?
also, I would like to ask owners here of the same model as mine;what about the fuel economy of your car? as I belive mine did much worse than other same model car. I usually pumped with BP fuel and in the city I got around 30 mpg and the best is on motorways where I could got about 45 mpg; one full tank diesel returns me about 400 miles if it used to commute only within the city and no running on motorways. Is that normal...?
