Normal operating temp on Peugeot/Citroen 2.0 HDi 110

[Tophatron]

Hi,

I've recently bought a banger C5 HDi and was just wondering what the normal operating coolant temp should be? This one seems to sit at around 80degC (checked with an OBD reader). That sounds a little low, but might be as expected?

Cheers for any help!

Sounds about normal.

I've got the same engine in my expert van and that sits at 80

Thanks for the replies. Sounds like it's about normal then.

I was a bit unsure as I'm used to cars where the coolant gauge sits in the middle and this sits a bit under (sorry the photo is the wrong way round!):

I wouldn't worry as long as it sits at a constant temperature once warmed up.
