Took th 75 CDTI for a trip 19.1 miles today. Set temp up on th screen. 4c was showing and then i started it. Drove nearly 10 miles before it got to 75c. It then stayed at 77 for quite a while but th heater did give off more heat at this time. This first 10 mils was mostly down bank with a cold head wind at 50 mph on a joule carriage way. As I climbed latter it got to 84. Then onto a A road were I followed traffic. On one hill it got to 91c then back to 84c. On th return trip a hour latter it soon got up to 84c and as th return trip is more up hill and less traffic it yo yo'd between 91c and 84... Soooo I didn't change th thermostat but noted th engine felt fluffy (running out of fuel) when coasting (barely touching th throttle) so is th in tank pump on th way out.... God nose.. .
