So driving along the motorway yesterday, I look down to see that the temperature gauge is off the top of the scale. Very alarming, but everything seems to be working fine.
Start thinking about what to do, surely there should have been some other kind of warning, when a big red message appears saying too hot, stop immediately, or some such.
This message then disappears and I carry on looking at the gauge, now thinking that there is a real problem, when before my very eyes, the gauge drops very quickly back to normal.
Car behaves normally after this, and has done today as well.
In the previous week, one two occasions I have noticed the cooling fans running after I've stopped the car, but the gauge has been normal on those occasions.
Car is an E250 2014 petrol with 25k miles and service history.
Anybody experienced this before? Its going for a service in a week (if it makes it that far). What would be the culprits to advise they check. Thermostat? Sensor? Water pump?
