    The thermostat is probably stuck open. Once you replace it and it gets to around 80ºC the mpg will be better.

  • @rhiantaylor3446
    @rhiantaylor3446 ปีที่แล้ว +25

    If the temp gauge is accurate its running a little on the cool side - maybe somebody took the thermostat out ? Anyway, you might improve the MPG a little if you could bring it up to 80 or so.

      @ercf2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      waaay too cold..
      should be 85 to 92°C (at least it was either 87 or 92, depending on the thermostat back then in my W210 Diesel)

    • @Parknest
      @Parknest ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah, that temp reading is too low. Definitely an open/missing thermostat. My W204 C200 was exactly the same. A brand new thermostat fixed the problem.

    When AAR is around you his personality is totally different than when he is on his own on his channel. Shame he ain't like this all the time, as this is probably closer to his real personality which comes across much more humble and likable.
    Plus you are a very nice human being, and he probably feels relaxed around you, as when people start get successful then people tend to want to be your friend for the wrong reasons.

    Talking MB, I just bought a 06 E320 CDI with 175k. Amazingly, I got 45.3 MPG driving it 300 miles home at 75 MPH. The CDI turbo-diesel has unreal torque with the awesome mileage! Highly recommended even though my old 300D and 300SD are still my favorites! My 06 color appears the same as yours (smoke silver/code 702)!

    Love that Benz, looks so elegant and classy in that colour with the chrome elegance trim and polished alloys. These w202s inspire confidence with their reliability, competence and efficiency which borders on the boring but makes for a serious long distance mile muncher. Cheap at twice the price I'd say. 4 days without a shower, thank goodness it's not smell'o'vision! 😋
