What range of temperature is ok for a 1600 Greenline diesel?

 

I see (once warmed up) 90 to 106

 

I have had fans running after the engine is off occasionally and a raise tickover from the 750 norm to 950 when the S/S doesn't work.

 

Car is a 2013

On 85000

Fixed emissions 2 years agof

Done 20000 since

Returns over 53mpg

 

Am I seeing the dpf regeneration?

 

There's no smoke or soot

That's normal.

Yes - that's the regeneration and its correct to have the increased idling rpm & unavailable S/S while that occurs. Lasts circa 10 mins.

That right as well - there shouldn't be. You will probably notice a sharper, slightly acrid (burnt) smell in the exhaust area though while a regen is in progress. 

Its having a luxury service today, proper parts/oil and filters, it was last fully done 40k ago but had oild changes every 10k since so we shall see, it only has shell/esso/BP diesel 

 

need it to last

That is a Service, nothing very luxury about it. Miles and time.

Nothing special about Shell/Esso/BP diesel it is just Diesel unless premium Shell/Esso/BP and then that had Additives, costs more and likely to make no difference to a 1.6TDI with the fix and a clogging DPF.

 

Maybe a roll back on the Fix with the Flow Device removed and a remap is worth a try.

I meant its not having factors non-OEM filters and oil maybe not quite right...

 

 

 

 

What difference does that make?

Skoda / VW Group do not manufacture filters, they source them from Filter Manufacturers. 

OEM can come from any Manufacturer and often does. VW are not good at paying to source quality.

 

Diesel / Petrol comes on tankers or pipelines to depots or from refineries and they are base fuels.

What gets added might or might be worth a few cents / euro / penny more than basic, but i doubt it,

Supermarkets sell loads more and Esso get their fuel from the same people supplying supermarket filling stations.

Royal Dutch Shell import with Greenergy as well, the supplier of Supermarkets, Independents etc.

The difference is if im paying im asking

 

Mines a little lower. I would have to be hammering uphill for an extended period it to get up to 106. Still does seem fairly ballpark

The range of temperature increases as the oil gets older. Mine maxes at about 102 after getting fresh oil but will hit 106 (75mph, motorway, uphill with passengers) after 6 months. Will hit 110 at 12 months under the same load and on a hot summers day and if a regen happens to get  initiated.

Varies as well depending on how many passengers / fare paying customers and luggage is on board.

Mine sits at 90 whatever. Local trips or fully loaded 300 mile blast up the M6. Never seen it move once it's up to temp

@SebOBC  Are you looking at the Coolant Temp indicated rather than the Indicated Oil Temp?

Yep, having a duh moment sorry

had its service, did 80 miles saturday and 130 today, oil temp seems a tad lower (not above 100) but had the 1 regen.

 

 

getting the board computer on car upto 63mpg now (extra urban/urban, no long trip)
