I have no idea if this is good or not. I checked the temperature from the hidden menu and its around 70 degrees. I thought this was low and after some reeading up i asked my local indie to change the EGR stat first. They checked and said that it didnt need doing???

Am i worrying for no reason?
Cheers
No because it should be getting to 88 degrees centigrade. You should of got both stats checked as suspect your main coolant thermostat has failed.

You should be seeing over 40mpg on a commute like that....
