So far, we've been talking about peak sustained EGTs at full power or under a heavy load, and certainly EGT needs to be kept within limits for engine and turbocharger reliability. At all other times, the EGT of a turbo-diesel will be lower, usually below 1000º F., and sometimes much lower. Such low EGTs pose no threat. In fact, the lower the EGT for a given speed and load, the more efficiently the engine is running.

 

That's the key, if it was always around the 500 deg C mark (circa 100 deg F) then DPF's would be simple affairs and permanently regenerating  (oh we wish lol)

Its interesting watching the EGT on my unit, it rarely gets much about 300 deg C

   you are not trying..

See, cem. When TB says things like that there's usually some substance behind it. Like on petrol face lift pre cats.

But as we know, the diseasels clearly don't get as wram as patrols. Hence the webasto pre heater in the 2.2 Dti omega to heat the cabin as there isn't enough heat in the engine coolant for about 20mins. Long enough for most people to get to work with no heat at all without one.

if there is a turbo, 20 minutues for me is more than enough to burn the car

*News flash*

This thread.... NOT for cem. It's for the op.

Fail to see the relevance of cem playing with petrol turbos on a clit to a thread on diesel autos.

This is my favourite emoticon. It says it all without saying anything. 

This post has no relevance to the OP but hey ho, neither do half of the others in front of it.

Maybe, but he fails to understand the concept that Auto is better than a Manual, even in a modern diesel................

I was always taught not to 'supercharge' a battery.
