Is the lack of a temperature gauge only a Diesel thing? I have one as clear as day on mine.

When the car is running, what do you see in the upper portion of the information display in the gauge cluster?

All E70s do not come with a coolant temperature gauge, but rather the energy control gauge (instantaneous consumption).

The upper part of the instrument cluster display will show the time (top line) and outside temperature (bottom line). The only way to see coolant temp is to go into the unlocked diagnostic Board Computer.

Fraser, you can use metric. I like average consumption better than "economy". There are some other folks from Canada and Europe too.
