pierrej Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 Hi Can anyone help please, I have a 2001 1.4LX Xsara, on my way to work this morning, the temp gauge light came on and the dash sounded an alarm and was flashing STOP. This is a bit confusing as I'd only been out in the car for less than ten minutes and the temp gauge needle had not even moved, the fan also kicked in for the first time since i've had the car. Is this a problem anyone is familiar with as ik now most Xsaras diplay odd but common electrical faults? Many thanks Quote
techbod Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 it sounds like a sticking thermostat not opening when hot so no heat gets to the top of the system this will be noticed when you put your hand on the water pipes and top of the radiator as they will be cold Quote

Typhon Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 It CAN be a faulty temp sensor. I have the same problem, will try one day to change it. Quote
