I ran it today but only for a few miles and it was nowhere near 90. I'll check it on a longer run. Thanks.
Kev0607 I'm not sure my engine has? On the older engine I am aware of where the flap lever is, however nothing on mine. The engine is a D5244t10

My cold start this morning -
Outside temp 11, coolant temp 11 before startup.
First 2.5 miles to get out of town 30 mph max. Then onto dual carriageway 60 mph.
Having covered 5.5 miles in 9 minutes the coolant reached 91 before dropping back to 87 - 88 - 89, 88 - 89 consistently for a further 6 miles.
My average consumption at opening was 27.9 according to the dash. Finally it's pretty flat round here.
Nothing in Vida re a swirl flap motor for yours.....there is for mine. So Olaf is probably right.
