Number 411 in Greenock . West Coast of Scotland . Has been for the last 4 years

It shows 90 on the gauge and when I check on the torque app it says 84 so its quite close to the correct temp. Heaters all blast out hot air once up at 90 ?

Along the top under the engine cover .

I could be barking up the wrong tree with this issue ? But when the tick over is high I can smell fuel inside the car .

No it's a 6 speed manual Vrs ltd . I will get Vcds plugged in today and see if it can read the soot levels it's showing ? I'm just hitting YouTube to see if I can find where to look lol

Thanks for the reply . My car does 30 min drive each way between home and work 5 days a week . When its playing up I do the same drive in 3rd or 4th gear and above 2500 rpm and does not clear it ? The engine being cold to touch give me some worry ? I have never had a car that the engine is cool to the touch after a 2 hr drive ? If the car was trying to do a regen would there not be an error or warning through vcds?

Guys and Girls I have come across a strange intermittent issue ? Car ticks over at about 750 rpm most times and sounds like a sewing machine . Sometimes it ticks over at 1000/1100 rpm and a bit lumpy . It can stay like this for days and then go back to normal for a few days and sometime weeks . I have run VCDS and does not report any faults from DPF ?. I have also noticed that the engine does not seem hot even after a 2 hr drive ? The water temp shows around 90 degree C tho . Does this sound like a Sensor issue ?
