Hello everybody,
had experienced high fuel consumption (from 5,9 to 7,7 L/100KM) in this cold days.
Looking at temperature sensor, i noticed it takes a very long time to warm the car on working temperature, and even than never reach 90deg. It will mostly stop on 80deg. This indicates me, that thermostat is on its end, therefore car is mixing more fuel to run, what explains high fuel consumption.
My car is 2000 1,4 petrol AUA.
Can anybody confirm my suspicions, and tell me how to change the thermostat. I read in TDI threads with same problem how to do it, but not sure is the same with petrol engines.
Thank you all, and sorry for my bad english.
