#1: Oil Temp in red when stationary Author: fatpies, Posted: Mon Apr 01, 2013 8:58 am ---- Hi there,
Recently encountered a problem with the 206, whilst the engine is on and the car is stationary, the oil temp seems to rise into red after about 4-5 mins. Once driving again it does back down to normal.
Could anyone advise me what the issue is here? I'm assuming it could be that the cooling fan is turning off when the car isn't moving, but I haven't checked this yet.
Cheers

If it is a case of any of the above, any idea how much a repair would cost?
