320D not getting up to temp, thermostat?
Okay, thought I best check the temperature gauge to see if it was getting up to temperature correctly. Took it for a little drive and didnt top about 75, so let it warm up to 90 sat still, then went for another drive. At motorway speeds in 6th it dropped to 65, so I'm guessing its a thermostat stuck open?
I've only just bought it and the garage said they'll sort it, but they're a 140 mile trip from me and I have to do it twice, hopefully dropping it off tomorrow and picking up Thursday, I have to pick it up Thursday due to work, so if I could give them anything extra to go on to speed the job up that would be great. Am I right in thinking there's two thermostats? I don't think it's a sensor as it wasn't jumping around or anything like that. Is there anything else it could be?
Oh during the tests ambient was 22c and I didn't have the heaters on so I don't think it was in tough conditions for it to get to temp.
