I think you're being misled re the temp sensor. As you say it's to do with miles per gallon.
When you say your ECU is faulty, which one? MPG, speed ec are worked out by the ABS ECU and if that's faulty it won't know how far or how fast you're going so will have trouble working out your mpg ... hence the F  :y

Yeah actually it say's the car's doing 7mpg, I know its a 3.0 V6 but even they aren't that bad ;D
Its the ABS ecu thats faulty! abs,tc lights on and no speedo!!

You don't have to try too hard to make the instantaneous mpg go to 7.1 mpg! especially if you tow!  ;D  ;D  ;D

Its common for F to come up on Range / Miles Left if the Mid has been swapped for Manual to Auto version (or other way round, cant remember) on the Mid display, if the fuel tank is low. Just a thought.  :y

What he means is that if the display (MID) has been changed at any point of time and did not have any Tech-2 session to match it to the car, it's common for the F to appear. So, I guess that a quickie on the Tech-2 might do some good  :y PM TheBoy and he could provide some additional info to you on your prob and Tech2

Hi,
My 2.5 estate is showing -11C and the climate is all wrong.

Thanks for that.
I found it and cleaned the contacts and taped up the cable and it now works OK.
