    Hello, MiloHunter: The current school of though regarding engine operating temperatures is the hotter you can safely run your engine, the more powerful and efficient it is capable of being. 190 degrees is... O.K., but the 203 degrees offered by the Hot Diesel Solutions Model 001 engine...

    2005 crd thermostat upgrade?

    JMichael2006: There are a couple of more reasons why using the inline thermostat is a bad idea for your CRD engine besides the shutdown of the cooling system bypass circuit, which you did address when you gutted the O.E. thermostat.

    It appears from your description that you have a failed engine thermostat assembly, even taking into account the inaccurate engine temperature gauge. If your engine is indeed running too cool, you are not getting the full power production and fuel economy the engine is capable of producing...

    2006 CRD improve MPG

    One f the best ways to reduce fuel consumption is the run the engine at a higher operating temperature. The 176 degree Fahrenheit O.E. thermostat we here in North America get is terrible.

This is to help this engine comply with the Environmental Protection Agency's NOx emission standards rather than running the engine at a proper operating temperature. Even new O.E. thermostats...
