Thread: Some more D4 operating stats

I really don't know why you bother with all that rubbish Gavin. I never check economy except to moan when pushing into those easterlies in the morning. As for checking turbo temps!!!! There's enough to worry about with engines liable to cease working at any time or gear shifts giving up shifting without that worry. Or even worse, drivers like you watching their little play thing gauges instead of watching the road.....
But I know you have nothing better to do with your time these days so keep the Gap tool plugged in.
Cheers.

At least I don't waste everyone's time winging about the possibility of an engine failure and moving to a lesser marque.

The engine and gearbox run cool in that Gavin... mine sit at 96 unladen and the trans goes up to 105ish with the van on..

The forward trip north had a slight south westerly tail wind and was also on the flat Indian Ocean Rd to Geraldton.
The return trip had a mild southerly headwind and was on the Brand Highway 1 which has a few rolling hills.

Sat on 110 once away from Perth and had a solar panel on the roof bars.

Ran quite a bit cooler than when pulling the brick.

Car has Cambos remap and trans massage to the 2016 3.0L TDV6 8 speed (approximates the RRS version at 700 Nm)


Trip North Urban - Perth - Geraldton 399 km

Turbo 1	Turbo 2	Coolant	Sump Oil	ATF	Volts	L/100 km
125	380	89	105	81	14.3	10.79

Trip South Dongara to Perth - Urban 408 km

Turbo 1	Turbo 2	Coolant	Sump Oil	ATF	Volts	L/100 km
125	400	86	109	84	14.0	12.25

Both trips contained some city running prior to/after the trip. The middle part of the trip to/from Kalbarri used 10.14L/100 km

Cheers Gavin

Thats some pretty good temps, both the engine and trans temps are ideal. Hard to believe they run that cool when towing a house

Me thinks that transmission remap just went up in value. They are really good values when towing. Nice one Gavin!

I don't think he was towing.... unless it's me that wasn't paying attention

Good pick up - that would explain the good ATF temps….and fuel economy.

Did not consider Gavin goes anywhere without the brick behind him.

As above
