Hi all.
I've noticed my C220 CDI takes a long time to warm up. I timed it on a run this morning and it was 25 minutes before it reached 90 degrees. That journey time included a lot of NSL driving, although I was pottering.
Its not really cold here (7 degrees) and once it got to 90 it didn't dip below. Over a run of 140 miles today I averaged over 60mpg too.
I've had thermostat issues with other cars but usually they never get to temp unless your in traffic and then drop back below as soon as you start moving again.
Wondering if its normal or if I need to replace the thermostat?
If the latter is it and easy enough job and what make is recommended?
Its a 2012 Coupe if that makes any difference?
