    Default Cruise control and engine temp issues

    Can any offer some insight into what might be causing me problems.

    Its been a issue for a long time now and ive just kept driving with it.

    Basically I have a error code on my dash and it takes a week of sundays for my car to get hot, I get hot air from the A/C as normal but the car barely goes 1/4 of the full guage. On a long journey it may get to half way as it used to be in the old days but not as recently.

    Additionally my cruise control seems to turn itself off, sometimes you may press the button 4-5 times before it stays on, it would seem if you go over a bump it can sometimes knock off.

    Ive recently had a new EGR, intercooler, deisel particular filter, cleaned turbo boost sensor. It has been kicking out black clouds since then (before I got a new intercooler) so TBS may need cleaning again but apart from that im confuddled.

    I know some will say go to stealer and get codes read however im brassic so wanna avoid that.

    Any ideas?

    What is that equating to on your gauge? I'm guessing around the 80/85 mark? If so then that's normal

    A diesel will take a lot longer to get up to temp than a petrol, especially in the colder weather.

    CC could just be the simple clutch pedal switch issue.

    What was the reason/diagnosis for having all the other work done?

    My CDTi takes miles to register on the gauge, and a good while to get any heat from it.

    The gauge doesnt start to 70 or there abouts.
