I'm going to put my hand up and confess - I never checked that once, in [almost] three years of ownership of this car.
I don't even remember how to get to that display in the menu :shock:

I didn’t quite get the pic right on mine above, the needle was sat on zero quite happily lol, you must try harder next time;):p

Haha! It came on whilst passing Jct 21 of the M25 & I thought 'Fuel gauge roulette...' to be fair she did approx 45 miles before I got to Shell near my home...


Your engine temp looks on throw side ....
That's quite an odometer reading

Normal reading for a 202/210.

Yup, usually only a temp needle width above (so around 82-83°c) in Summer or in winter traffic, and bang on 80 in normal running driving. She's had her coolant replaced as well last month but even then never above 85°c which occurred when I gave her a bit of stick lol. They're cool running engines and as Alistair said its a normal reading.

That pic was at the petrol station and I'd done the last 45 miles below 2k rpm too so barely any load on the engine... But a load on my heart haha!

The odometer reading, yes quite a reading indeed and growing... Just such a damn good motor to be honest!

out and about today and noticed we were a little low on fuel, by the time we did the shopping and finally pulled into the fillup station I think I might have been cutting it a little fine View attachment 41935

With so few Petrol station in Newark Matty, you nearly could have dropped a clanger, think you have a bigger pair of balls than me to go that low

2005 CL500.
I've driven (carefully) nearly 20 miles on 0 in a 320cdi 210. I regularly see 0 in the CL...and haven't been caught out even after about 10 miles.

These gauges are not accurate, they have a margin for error.
