E90 2005 330D Auto MPG 28MPG
Hey Guys,
I know this has been covered loads. I have had a look on forums and still unsure about my car Its a 2005 E90 330d Auto. Had it for about 2 weeks now. Doesnt go over 28 MPG. I went into the Hidden menu and checked coolant temp. When Idle it gets to abou 88 - 92 degrees. When cruising along it drops to 71 - 72 degrees. If i punch it. It goes up again but drops quickly. Does this seem normal? |

Low 70's seems low. Sounds like you need to check your thermostat which might be stuck open.
Of course engine temperature is only one contributing factor to the mpg figure. There could be a multitude of issues but it is certainly worth persuing the temperature regulation for starters. |

I recently replaced both egr and engine thermostat as was getting 28mpg 325d. Temp now sits between 90 and 95 and mpg now averaging 44.8. Regens are being done so all resolved by swapping both thermostats. But.... it could be a problem elsewhere. £79 for both stats and I fitted myself so a cheap place to start.
Your temp should stay about 90 even if on motorway so I think you should start there. Jon

Your thermostats have gone as you are now aware. Mine did exactly the same as yours but has been fine since I swapped them out. High 30’s mpg is about a decent average for these cars although autos tend to be a bit worse than manuals.
