Just posted but can't find it.. so reposting... Had car back today after having carbon build up cleaned.. and cR will not gain any heat.. temp gauge hardly moves.. on a normal drive so took it out drove bit harder and it still hardly moved so I hit the m4 and pretty much flat out into teipple digits.. and the temp gauge just about went past the first bar on the temp gauge the turbo was glowing completely orange... Curved boost pipe was Luke warm.. long straight 1 over engine was cold.. top engine was Luke warm.. water tank was Luke warm I am completely puzzled and taking it back first thing so depressed I mist my car and now it has to go back

if you can get your hands on an obd scanner or a bluetooth one with an android phone and torque pro,
check the coolant temp.
Fully warmed up, it should be around 103C
Though it can drop to 85C when under high load or on a hot day to help manage heat.
I hope it's just your temp sensor, because if the engine isn't warming up to the right temp like it should be, then this can cause extra wear and fuel consumption.

It's defo not getting up to temp.. 14mile run on motorway and some.bits of it at 130 soon as I stoped I put my hand on the water tank and it was Luke warm.. same as top radiator pipe...

Did some runs on dyno yesterday at full boost 1.2bar turbo still not glowing if was faulty temp sensor surely everything would run alright & get hot as normal but just not show on the gauge,my sensor was faulty but coolant still got hot & showed on the temp gauge just took longer to go up I'm no engineer or mechanic but just being logical trying to look at & solve problems liked i do everyday for work
