Mpg dropped since new water temp sensor
« 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
