Good morning,

Many thanks

and according to Vauxhall, it should take you 2 & half hours!

And just for curiosity ,what is considered to be the average time to do the job DIY then ? as my temp takes a fair while to reach 95 c now so think might be new thermostat time for me sooner than later too.

[Andy B]

It took me about 4 hours including half hour for a brew & a butty.

ignore that. just read it SHOULD be 90oC - All good 

[albitz]

I believe that 90 is fine.Mine doesnt very often reach 90 so needs a new stat.

What's the problem with the engine running cooler? I would have thought engine cooling would be good? 

[Andy B]

The 'stat should regulate around 92deg

Engine stat running too cool is bad, if it thinks its cold its going to chuck in more fuel, not good for your wallet. Or the cats

You want your engine up to  operating temperature as soon as possible, otherwise it's on 'choke' for longer than necessary and using more fuel than it should.

I would've thought any cold-start enrichment would be over and done with by the time the ECU saw about 70C coolant temperature?
Anyone know different?

I guess it'll take longer than it should to get even that far, if the stat is playing silly buggers though.

Probably

No idea

Sure will. 
A new stat in both my Astra & her Smart made a huge difference in the speed at which they got to temp

Aha! Got ya. Thanks
