Well something strange happened today while I was on a start stop typical London Friday traffic lol...
While I had the music on ... did not feel much, but I seen the temperature gauge drop all the way down and the engine make a humming noise... and then the temperature gauge returned back to normal (middle).
I done it once more ... after a few seconds and then ... not done it at all.
The gauge does seem to like to flactuate sometime between the half way ... and quarter.
Will it be rectified by replacing a temperature sensor ... somewhere in the engine bay??
Also, although I do not think it is relevant I topped up with coolant the expansion tank last week, before I top it up it was halfway between the min and max, so it was not critical by any point of view.
Your opinions?

Its a C5... did the engine stop or any warning messages about over heating? had a similar thing on a 2 litre hdi.. needle was over heating one min then nothing.. It turned out to be the temp sensor on the thermostat housing... not sure where it is on the 2.2 though ..

Re: Something Strange happened in traffic ...
Nope no over heating signs at all and no loss of power.
No warning messages either
and no lights coming up on the dash either ... (it was dark so it would be easy to notice if they were)
Mine seems to be doing the opposite to yours though lol ... it is middle or nothing ... or quarter below middle. mmm

Re: Something Strange happened in traffic ...
Does someone know where the sensors are on the 2.2 engine?
