temperature gauge

[ljwjones]

Is this normal for the temperature gauge. It sits there and doesn't move its just not central?

My last THP 150 was dead centre, and my current THP 155 is just over (About as much as you are under) and has been ever since Ive had it
Depends also where yours bottoms out when cold, Mine looks like it doesn't quit bottom out even when switched off for couple days, so makes sense to be just over
So may not be installed with deadly accuracy, either yours, or mine

Torque pro app states exact coolant temperature- and mines bang on 105 deg c pretty much all the time

So for me, I wouldn't worry bout your display. Unless it varys regular

My c2 and c3 always sat dead central, haven't noticed on the ds3 as the dash is slightly different to the c3, temp gauge is just red or blue on the c3.

My previous DS3 was dead central after it was warmed up, I'm pretty sure my current one is the same although tbh I haven't looked properly.

Mines the 110 diesel, and sits exactly the same as yours after warming up.

Mine is also the 110 diesel! Makes me worry a bit less... So it's not that behind the stop start not working :-D

Mines the same as that aswell. Just slightly left of middle.

The stop start thing is very picky apparently and doesn't tend to work in winter. As the weather gets warmer it should start working again as you don't need to have your lights on And your wipers on and the air temp is warmer stuff like that. It doesn't like it when there are things that drain the battery

I have the eHDI 115 and my temp guage sits about there when warmed up too

As for the stop/start mine is still working every morning/evening at the moment on my 24 mile round trip to work. Average morning temps these past few days have been 2 to 3 degreees C

I am glad to see I am not alone with it not sitting in the middle!!
The stop/start is just annoying, I even tried turning the radio off, lights to just DLR's and air con off and still not luck....hopefully will kick in and start working at some point. Got another week before ~I can give him a good run at quicker than 12 mph average, maybe after that it'll work.

Mine sits slightly over, but it's always done that so not worried.

If you are concerned about your Stop/Start then you can have you dealer run a test on it such as a Global test to confirm that the system is 100%. The only thing is that you may be charged for the check as it's not really a warranty issue, but that depends on the dealer.

[ljwjones]

Looking under the hood I am thinking could it be in need of a new battery. How Would i tell this? Also is the battery meant to be covered? As mine certainly isn't. Dsport plus 110 for reference.

mine sits just like yours just under but as chris says torque pro shows 103 for my temp

[fr09sty]

My 155 THP sits dead center (hammer it and it goes just above center then returns when my right foot gets tired), when I got it the thermostat was broken as it never got up to temperature (fixed under warranty)

Mine sits ever so slightly over its the 1st car I've had do that I was slightly worried until I read this post
