Jumpy peugeot water temp gauge
Discussion
Hi,
Anyone know what this might be?
My 306 (1.4 petrol, don't laugh
) temp gauge has suddenly started reading high (100-110), but the engine is O.K ( coolant level fine, fans work with ac on, but not coming on with 'indicated' 100+ degrees). To add to the strangeness, if I put the heater fan on the temp jumps by 10 degrees!
Is this a common problem, should I be worried? It looks like an electrical glitch, but I need some reassurance, until I can get it to the dealer.
Any help greatly appreciated

Cheers Deltaf,
Fans don't seem to come on when stationary (don't think temp is high enough @ 10 degrees ambient). Switch off engine and leave for 30 mins, and it drops to 60-70.
I get the feeling it is electrical on the gauge side, as it moves (noticably!) when you switch on the heater fan.
I will get it checked soon, but I can't for a few days (wife has the car and I'm not around).
