This is in the Common Problems topic plus somewhere I had posted when our 2003 C3 1.4 petrol high temp warning was given - there was nothing wrong and it may have been a glitch that happened twice with a year between but later when the timing belt was replaced I also replaced the thermostat, anti freeze and coolant pump and it did not happen again.

 

30. High temperature warnings.

This topic by Skyman fixed the problem using a dealer supplied temp sensor after trying a low cost ebay one which did not work http://www.citroen-o...-by-new-sensor/

 

This occurred on our 2010 C3 1.4 VTI 96 bhp. A check on live data showed the engine coolant temperature was normal yet the high temperature warning was lit and the engine fan was running continually. A visit to the Citroen dealer for a new temperature sensor however brought up that Citroen had just issued a recall for faulty temperature sensors on the EP engines so it would be fixed without cost to ourselves. This is done by replacing the temperature sensor with a new one or as in our case where the temperature sensor is not removeable from the thermostat housing, the housing bleed screw is removed and the temperature sensor is put in its place along with a short wiring loom.
