Hi all,
Lurked for a while, but never posted. Owned my Panda for as long as I’ve been driving: 5 years.
The hitherto trusty steed had to do her first 1 hour plus run to London over the past week.
Had engine management light pop up last Sunday (11th) en route to London. Light stayed on; went off on the Tuesday, and stayed off…until I drove back home from London yesterday (16th) when it came back on again. This time I saw that the temperature gauge had dropped to zero - unsure whether it had done so at the first occurrence.
Temp reading only seemed to come back up once demist mode had turned itself off. Even then it didn’t come up to where it should be - was only a quarter up the gauge, and it’s usually halfway.
Any ideas? My instinct is temp sensor but I can’t say I’m particularly knowledgeable - certainly less so than a good few here!
Many thanks in advance
