Citroen C3 aircross temp fluctuations

Unread post by bouldozas »

I have a Citroen C3 aircross, got it new from dealership, and since day one the temp is fluctuating when driving. All within normal range but doesn’t stay in one place. It goes to the upper limit then cools down and then again and again. Dealer said that it’s normal and I should not worry about. Doesn’t make sense to me. Shouldn’t it stabilize in the middle? Anyone else has a similar issue or is it actually normal?

Which engine has it got? How many Km have you driven it? :)
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!

What year is the car ?
Check the coolant level is not low and if ok then it could be a fault with the thermostat. Also make sure the engine fan is working. If you have a code reader that does live data see what temperatures the coolant is when it is going up and down.
