330d LCI running between 92 & 96 degrees?

Len_Beach · 05-30-2014, 08:54 AM

I opened the hidden menu this morning to test the coolant temperature.

I currently achieve between 36 & 37mpg which seems reasonable as I do drive the car hard.

I set off on a 20 mile journey to work this morning. The first 10 miles were motorway and we reached around 92 degrees.

The next 5 miles were country and the temperature was between 92 & 94 generally with a peak of 96 when I really nailed it.

After 5 miles of town; I switched the car off at 92.

How do these figures look and would a thermostat change give an appreciable increase in MPG?

Temperature looks spot on so it's nothing wrong with the thermostat.

Thanks chaps. So no need for the thermostat change right now. Another job off of the list!
