I have just started having trouble with the temperature gague on my Mk2 Sporting Punto. Typically, I drive along for 5/10 mins and the temperature guage does not move from it's resting point. Then, it suddenly goes up to the normal position (where it has always been since new). All is well for a while and then it suddenly shoots up to the top and the red warning light comes on. It's then up and down like a yoyo for the rest of the journey. The temperature gague CAN'T be displaying the correct coolant temperature as the fluctuations could not occur that quickly. It doesn't go up in stationary traffic or when parked up.
There is now water leaking from the radiator, the water levels are fine, there is no 'mayo' round the filler cap. The heating inside the car works perfectly and the car runs fine and is not overheating.
Any ideas? Dodgy temperature sender??
