General stilo,s dont like the cold

[fender mender]

i have come to the conclusionthat stilos dont like the cold after fitting 2 batterys to are 2 stilo,s in one week and moore warning lights than i care to mention i go out to my 1.6 to start it turn on the car and the temp shoots up to high and drops back down and keeps saying high temp this now happens ever time i stat it any body got any idears

Ehhh, i wouldn't start it if its doing that, looks like a thermostat issue?

Replacing the battery can cause spurious warnings, but they should disappear after three or so re-starts.

i know the stats ok as i have just fitted it and no problem with it so will see if it stops after a few start ups will post if it up if it doesnot

your being unfair to stilos!

I've just put a new battery in a punto today because i think it has voltage issues due to it throwing all sorts of non existant faults and so far none have come back

the thing is that due to the chemistry used, cold snaps really dont help the battery at all with delivering sufficient voltage at high current

temp still shooting up to high & dropping back down before engine starts & saying high coolant temp

check thermostat

Mine started doing that in April. Some sudden peaks of the gauge. The problem got worse (I was on High Coolant Temp all the time by September). I ended up with a faulty ECU...

So the engine is cold and when you turn the ignition on but not start the engine the temp gauge hits high and you get a coolant error message?

Thats a Temp Sensor problem IMO.

Get the temp sensor checked or replaced.

yeah that

It's a software fault, as explained in your previous thread in August about the same problem.

As mentioned, it's a software fault
