02 2.0HDi Excessive fuel comsumption low temp - kev17
Hi all this is my first post so can you please help me?
I have brought a citroen dispatch in december 2.0l HDI,
I am only doing roughly 30-35 miles on £10 of diesel, i have changed the fuel filter, glow plugs, thermostat and the expansion bottle cap due to it getting warm either? the van sits at 70degrees and takes a while to get to this roughly 5-8 miles.
The van starts and drives good plenty of power and no smoke, i have had the van on a scanner and the only code was P1108 which is to do with the fan i believe. I would like to thank you in advance for any help in these matters.

Coolant temperature sender?

I'm going on the logic that the car isn't getting up to temperature, but you've already changed the thermostat. The ECU would be trying to get the engine up to temperature so injecting more diesel than normal.
