Temperature guage

[cstopforth]

Does anyone know the correct running temperature of my berlingo van
It seems to take a long time to warm up and only. Moves up to the second marker on the gauge .

Its normally around 90 or the middle of the gauge, you dont say what engine you have. Perhaps the thermostat is stuck open so it takes ages to warm up.

1.9D should be approx 85-90 degress celsius (after my experience with several different cars with this engine :eek

Depends on the outside temp. Should be there after about 10 minutes or so.

After a30 minute drive the temperature never went over 75 on the dial any idea what would cause this .

[Ol'Jeffers]

I would have said that , allowing for the fluctuation between temperature gauges, 75c was OK.
I can take a fast drive and my gauge never goes above 80C.
