what temp. does your 1.9 cdti 150 get to as mine is just touching 75'c which is quite cold i think

mine sits about 90 think your thermostat must be knackered
Down to your local motor factors clutching the wallet, empty said wallet and come back to fit nice new themostate in its housing. It is located on the left hand end of the cylinder head, dont forget the new gasket, maybe in the box.
how much is it for a new one?
is there a difference between the 150 and 120 ones as the local motor factors only stock 120
I have no idea on both as I have a 1.8 and buy just the thermostate not the casting as well, these cost £4 as I remember complete with gasket. I may be wrong, and if so someone will soon jump in, but I think the difference between 120 and150 is the extra camshaft with them both running at the same temerature, about 92c.

Mines been like this since day 1, and it runs great - temp goes up in traffic, but cruising (or with the heater on) the needle drops right down - doesn't worry me at all
a word of warning i had suspected overcooling and changed the stat/housing/and temp sensor on a 1.8ls which has lead to cooling system control unit failure, am still trying to find the problem but its only after new stat. maybe wise to check the return from rad on start up see if high pressure and warms with the rest of coolant hoses if not its prob not stat and maybe sensor or electrical fault???
as redbull says bud, is your heater working ok ,your temp may be ok it may be sensor faulty
