Title: Mpg dropped since new water temp sensor
Post by: Mk2_tel on 06 December 2012, 10:58

Hi all basically I was averaging 48-55mpg from what I was being told from
The trip computer in the clocks.
My water housing wa leaking on the front of the bloke so I changed that and put in a new water temp sensor. Since this has been done best I have got is 45 mpg on a 60mile at say 50-70.
Obviously the computer is not bang on but the reducing in mpg would it likely to be more of a accurate reading now the new sensor is in cheers

true mines dropped sincw the weathers changed. Also where did get the sensor from? Is it genuine? Ive had trouble with non genuine sensors before
