Title: 2.5TD Thermostat
Post by: Seth on 21 December 2010, 21:40:09

Have fitted a genuine Vx 'stat to our TD after Tech 2 check at Newent earlier in the year.

Previously, it ran at around the 90 mark on the gauge.

With the new 'stat it now runs pretty constantly at around the 95 mark on the gauge.
The cooling system also had a good flush, bled itself quite easily, and now has 50% Vx red antifreeze added. According to Mrs Sethsmate, the car warms up much quicker and the heater's noticeably better.

Personally, I reckon that 95 degrees is a bit on the warm side - or maybe it needs another Tech 2 chat.

Any thoughts?

Just under midpoint is good, rising to just over in traffic.

So, 94C cruising on a prefacelift, 88C on facelift.

BTW, happy to check at Lakes/Newent, on the condition Mrs Sethsmate says Aberystwyth again ;D
