I know that this has been asked and answered before but I can't find the link or remember any of the responses. On a ph1 16v where should the temp needle be when running. Has anyone got any pics that i can compare to?

Thanks, that was the topic I read before but couldn't find. Nothiing to worry about then usually reads just above normal so for the sake of an hour I'll flush the system out and see if it helps. Looks as though it's fine tho.

Your sensor might be dull or your gauge, as long as the fan kicks in about the same bit higher it's probably oke!
