Tryed to search up to find my answer but as per the search feature is poor lol
206gti 1999 - Having cooling problems, car doesnt ever warm up properly even after i have driven for 10 minutes temp stays under 70 and oil barely moves unless its driven for half hour +
Every now and again it will get up to 90+ 110 max then the fan kicks in and cools it straight back to under 70 and will often stay under 70 for length of time
changed the thermostat as i thought it was that but i dont think it is now as it is opening and closing
Wonder what else it could be, should it take half hour for oil to get warm ?
And the fan is cooling to much

Normal for oil to take at least 20 mins to warm up, and stay around 90. My water temp takes about 5-10 mins depending on outside temp and sticks around 80 when moving, hits 90 when stood still, can kicks in around 95

thats how mine did work 1 or 2 week ago, now more or less the dials are just showing the cars cold, will code reading bring up this type of fault ?

Code readings didn't bring anything on mine's.
I had coolant temperature sensor gone (on 2.0 HDi it's only one with 3 pins)
One pin goes to ECU (the one that began failing), the other to temperature gauge, read the last bit of this post: www.206info.co.uk/Foru...tml#589661

well such a fault will not be shown in code reading,so to eliminate this cause,you can buy a new one,it's around 15 GBP from ebay,just make sure to have one that match your car model.
