Hi I'm new to Fiats and have just bought a second hand Brava 100 ELX. The car seems great apart from the fact that the temperature gauge flickers about and will suddenly read very hot. I'm fairly sure that the engine temp is O.K but the gauge is faulty. Any ideas?
Cheers Mark.
 
Welcome aboard and look at the repair section of this site for more info.

If the temperature fluctuates or dosent remain in the middle, its likely it is the thermostat. Not a very hard job to replace but they are known for breaking.

shop4parts.com sell them.

Also check everything else such as water level, rad for rust/blockage/leak and the electric fan.
 
More than likely an electrical problem. Thermostat wont cause those symptoms it would creep up and stay hot (unlikely as they fail open normally) or remain cold.
