🔎 Live data all showed injector fuelling was acceptable, but coolant temperature values were only reaching 82°C at best and dropping to 69°C with the heating on – a new thermostat would be a great idea.

Hottest we could get it to was 81-82°C

After thermostat check dropped to 69-70°C

🧑‍🔧 On with the clean and it soon smoothed out, quietened down and by the end it was quiet, smooth and responsive again. The owner can now take it for inspection to resolve the sensor issue,get a new thermostat and should the underboost issue persist then get a smoke test and turbo inspection.
