Its a bit of an odd one this. We can start the car and within a couple of seconds the temp warning will come up on the display the temp gauge rises then lowers. We can drive all day no problem. Sometimes, like today I can be driving.The warning appears then as before within seconds can return to normal.
I'm not unfamiliar with mechanics and im fairly confident the car isn't over heating but an electrical fault.
I was wondering if anyone else has experienced anything like this and could shed some light .
Thanks in advance
Clint

Quite a common fault from what i've heard on here, it's more than likely the temperature sensor, the one that looks like a green plug, plugged in to the right of the head as you are looking into the engine bay
Done mine the other day as i was having the same problem, pain to get to but not a hard job to do, if you need instructions on how to get it out i can post them up for you

Does this sensor control the coolant level warning aswell as I have the same thing but this happens with the 'top up coolant' warning light.
Cheers

That white plugs is for the seatbelt not fastened warning lamp on the dash.
You need the seatbelt buckle with sensor & a BSI configuration set up tweak if you want it to work.
To get both airbag warnings come on id check the battery & charging system.
