Still have a problem, It should be around the middle give or take a bit.

Sounds fine to me, you already said the old sensor was faulty and that you were doing motorway driving. Was it a hot day, low wind, raining, all these factor into the temperature of the car. The fact the needle only moved a faction as far as I'm concerned is nothing to panic about.

Hi, was yesterday about 27 degrees outside temperature , was thinking maybe the thermostat was not working property .

I have same engine, did you ever get this sorted ?

Hi, yes I took car back to citroen & had a new thermostat housing & new sensor fitted again all under warranty as they should of replaced thermostat first time, as temperature gauge should sit in middle & not move when car is warmed up, thermostat was knackered & staying open all the time which was why car was not getting up to temperature & feeling lumpy & using more fuel, all good now .

Thanks for reply. I had same repair done out of warranty at dealer, yours being in warranty saved you around £400 ! Was clear to me if your temp gauge was not in the middle after that 90 mile journey something was not right.

Hi can anyone help me, just had a new temp sensor fitted under recall yet still my temp goes to half on standstill then once it goes on a motorway/dual carriage way. It goes back down to cold?
