Hi all,
I've been using my mum's '05 Freelander TD4 HSE quite a lot lately. The fuel burning heater has started coming on as normal since the winter started, however it never seems to switch off, even after a couple of hours running it will still be going.
From the research I've done, it seems to suggest that it should only run until the engine is up to temperature - is that correct?
The car is drinking diesel at the moment and I wondered if that could be the cause. It's using more than my 300tdi!
I would say that the temperature gauge never gets to exactly half way - it stops just before. So I will be replacing the thermostat when it's warmer outside. I just wondered if this could be a cause?
So really just wanted confirmation of whether it should be shutting off when the car gets to operating temperature?
Thanks in advance.
