Hi all, hope you are all well.
I've noticed a problem with my temp gauge and hoping one of you can point me in right direction as to where to start looking.
When starting from cold, my engine temp gauge used to take up to 4-5 minutes to rise to running temp, but now gets there VERY quickly and sits on about 94c and sits steady.
Now here goes the weird bit....................
However if you turn engine off and switch it back on again, within 10 seconds it's fallen back down to around 70c.
If you then drive again, it will not move a millimeter and even if you take it for a long drive (however long) it refuses to move off that mark???
Once the car sits still and idles, only THEN will it start to rise again, but usually only gets up to around 90c.
Any ideas please as to where to start with this?
