All of my figures were taken on a tank that I had used purely running around town, many journeys only a mile or two following a cold start, my auto box does get to a higher gear except top at around 30 mph and rarely do I have to rev above 2000 rpm in town, as I say the only job I have left is the thermostat as mine only runs to 82/3 degrees, I did find an improvement by using good diesel.
The figures were taken on brim to brim and also the IPK OBD which did prove to be quite accurate. If I trashed it around town I am sure the figure would be much lower. |

Thanks for that Klarzy - I'll give it a shot.
PS I presume you need a message centre IPK to get the engine temperature readings? |

>>>my auto box does get to a higher gear except top at around 30 mph<<<
How? I wish mine would at times?? My Jatco auto box changes into 4th gear at about 40 mph, and will NOT change into it at a lower speed? and it goes into 5th at about 48 mph if driven very very gently. My autobox changes into 3rd at about 30 mph+ but due to traffic, traffic lights, pedestrians, etc I rarely get to 30 mph when in town. ... |

Thermostat and intercooler o rings will by far make biggest difference. Go for the genuine thermostat, it's been said time and time again the inline one is on the wrong side of the engine.
