Hi all, my 91 200tdi is doing about 30 miles each way at the moment daily, i must admit, i like to check the levels frequently and rejoice in not having to worry, that week, about unexplained fluid loss, i was wondering why the water in the expansion tank only ever seems tepid, temp gauge hardly rises much, heater blower keeps me warm, is it because the engine is so not struggling or thats just the way it is.
Engine hardly warms up!

could be that yer thermostat is stuck open.
might want to think about ditching the viscous fan too - specially in this weather.

They also use about 2 or 3 HP which would be better down on the black top.

Diesels produce less heat than petrol, old answer was to fit radiator muff to reduce area exposed to flow air, but first you have to check the thermostat and establish if the problem is there.
