Hi all,
I was checking some threads about MPG returned, specifically for my W203 220D. (I dont think its what it should be)....
Anyway, one comment I noted said check the temperature. So I've been watching it last few days. Given that its the middle of summer, it wasnt raining or anything.... Even when I'm stuck in traffic for 20mins, or driving it hard... I can't get it above an indicated 80. Mostly its on 70.
As its my first diesel, (first Merc, first auto, first rear wheel drive too :lol I'm not sure what is normal for it. Sounds low to me, so am I loosing MPG due to running the 'glow plugs' or whatever?
Thanks for any hints.
