Re: What did you do with your A Series today? Nels, I'm not sure why the distance travelled should be of any relevance, since the engine should reach its 'steady state' temperature not long into a journey. Last week was typical October weather, so I fitted the grille muff on the Dyane for a run along the M62 to the galvanizers in Hull with 5 chassis on the trailer, then collected about 500kg of parts for the home run. Mind you, there's a weather anomaly on the way this weekend if the Met Office is on the ball, so best start looking for that barbeque...

Re: What did you do with your A Series today? Ken it has nothing to do with the distance you travel, but speed.... Even the instruction-manuals of Citroen (at least here in Holland) say to remove the wintermuff when going (over long distances on the motorway).. And if I trailer a freight of 500 kg or more (probably towing a 2cv) which is illegal in a 2cv B.T.W. even in mid winter I take always take the wintermuff off... even in our winters (min. to -10 degrees Celcius)... Watch your oiltemp young man  [quote="ken"]Nels, I'm not sure why the distance travelled should be of any relevance, since the engine should reach its 'steady state' temperature not long into a journey. quote]

Re: What did you do with your A Series today? lpgo, no mention of speed or motorway use in the UK Owner's Manual, only the advice "to fit the grille muff below 10*C and remove it above 15*C". Watching the air temperature, rather than the oil temperature, seems to have worked just fine for me during 34 years of driving only A series Citroens. Only longer lumps of metal were on the trailer, so about 200kg of smaller items in the car...  Laser tube cutting. by slcchassis, on Flickr
