Posts: 434 | No,where it was around was still normal operating temprature.if it does it more frequently in shorter intervals then replace the coolant temp sensor because they do tend to play up after so many years of being hot and cold day in day out.
Also keep check of coolant condition,thermostat and water pump.

Posts: 47 | yeah also its easy for me because i work at a dealership so the mechanics could sort it out but today it played up all day then final drive home it worked but while i was at the servo waiting for a pump i banged on my dash softly and as i did that the gauge moved a little but yeah im not worrying to much its never had temp problems before and its always serviced on time so i cant see it over heating
