- vito 112cdi 2002
Hi
new thread same issues
My vito 112cdi 2002 takes a very long time to get up to opperating temperature about 25-30mimute of good driving and cools off fairly fast as well if I stop or slow down.
Yesterday I had the thermostat changed and hoped that it cure the issue but after a quick
Drive today it now know it hasn't.
So where to and what to do next?
Things considered changing are the recirc pump if it was faulty would cause the engine to run cooler? I can imagine that it could cause it to over heat but not stop it warming up.
Heater matrix blocked? It is cool in the cab but the when at opperating speed on the motor way it does blow some hot air in
Auxiliary heater mine is broken but I assume that these are just used on cold mornings to help defrosting and that once up to temp the engine should be able to hold a temp of 80on it's own.
So if you guys have and suggestion I'd really appreciate it very much indeed as this problem has already cost me a fair bit of time and money
