I note that our 2015 180 TDI is a lot more "sensitive" temperature wise than was our previous 2009 T2. When towing the caravan I will always utilize the manual mode especially when going up any steepish hills. I note that if I leave it in "D" the temperature will increase, but not to the point of being critical and it certainly performs better if I take it out of Auto when under load. This, in my opinion has to be better for the transmission too. It only remains in "D"in ideal conditions when towing our van which weighs in at 2361kg ATM.
I do think back fondly (if that is the right word) to last year when we had to get a whole new engine when the Treg was just 3 months old, because when we towed the van then, it would overheat, due to the cracked engine block and leaking head gasket. What other new vehicle would produce so much joy?
