Engine won't warm up

Good morning,

So i fixed the FBH yesterday, but it still won't start up. I have to look into that with diagnostics i guess.

It's around -15°C ti +5°C at the moment. I can drive 30miles and the Torque App would give me 60°C watertemperature.

I know it is very important that the FBH works, but with a functioning Thermostate i would say the engine should get warm after a long trip like this, right?
Had the car for 5 days now.

I even but something in front of the Radiator.

I aso think that the beltdriven fan operates a little bit too much when it's freezing cold.

I'm happy for any help / usefull links.

I'm trying to get my hands on IID tool now, that should help a lot with finding the failure. Smile

It does sound like a thermostat issue as there should be little or no flow through to the radiator when cold, so no need for a radiator cover. Radiator covers are a bad idea on a D3/D4.

The fan isn’t belt driven as it is on a controlled viscous coupling. The rpm achieved can be ram air only, engine only, or a mixture of both. It provides cooling for more than just the engine so the gearbox and air conditioning can call upon it too.

If cardboard does not help it heat up its not the thermostat is it

The FBH do run for a long time, so I think they do most of the work.

Are your EGR's blanked? I'm sure functioning EGRs help it heat up too

Small update.

Read out fault codes, FBH was in LockOut! Deleted, started, lot of happiness! Very Happy
Gets faster warm now, but not as good. Smile

I earlier pulled the fuse, but that didn't fix the LockOut unfortunately. Sad

I googled a little but can't figure it out. Where is this thing located? Can't see it from above the engine bay.
Any help? Smile

It's below the radiator.

You need to remove the small metal panel under the car, at the front

Here is my tongue-in-cheek guide to replacing a D3 thermostat.
