#1: Temperature gauge stuck at 90 when car not running Author: wildcat01, Posted: Mon Jan 27, 2014 10:15 am ---- Hi, I bought a Peugeot 206 1.4 '02 automatic recently, the temp gauge is stuck half way when the car is not running & flickers, jumps to red as soon as car is started & fan kicks in soon as. I have just paid £600 at a garage to fix it but still is the same, it's had new thermostat, temp switch & other things but now been told that it could be a fault with the ecu, could anyone help this damsel in distress please

Where are you based?

Not necessarily.
'Bit more detail needed and history of the problem, esp if a professional garage has already worked on it.
