I'm the proud owner of a 147 Ducati Corse, 1.9JTD. The car is great, but I have 3 issues:
1. What is the normal water temperature? It eventually gets to half way and sticks there (about 90 deg C).
2. How long should it take to warm up the engine. In this cold weather I'm doing about 10 miles before the water temp is anywhere near normal. I've never had a car take this long for the water temp to rise. Is there a problem or do I have to live with it? It's my first oil-burner.
3. More seriously, I was driving home from work today and it appears the turbo is not working. There is no kick at 2000 rpm in low gears anymore - it just gradually accelerates. The car has done just 3000 miles from new.
