    Smile Temperture gauge

    Hi,

    My temperture gauge doesn't tend to move at all even when I do a 30 mile trip it stays on 0... this doesn't bother me however it bothers my boyfriend who tends to drive my car when he is about! lol any ideas what could be up with it???

    Default

    press and hold settings button till you hear a beep

    then use bc to navigate through the screens on the radio unit

    one of them is the coolant temp

    this will show it even before it rises on the analogue scale

    chances are on a very cold day , with short run then you might not make 70 c which is where the analogue scale starts

    does the car heat up?

    Sounds like the thermostat has jammed open. Common fault on the CDTI 150's. Mine is like that, in the cold it won't heat up until I have done about 20miles.

    Thermostat all the way. Gauge should move after about 8 to 10 miles in this weather.

    The gauge doesnt start till 70 so it looks like it isnt heating up.

    Bring up the menu and you can see it heating up.

    Seem to be the most common fault on here at the moment. Just changed mine, temp up to 85 degrees in around 2 miles now.

    Could be the guage but this cold weather don't forget may be making the engine run colder.

    Check the menu if it registers different to the guage then you know what the fault isn't.
