Hay guys/Girls just bought a VN today with all the Extras ,calais interior ,extractors, kinkg springs and a power chip , very happy with car although up on driving the car home the temp gauge when up to 3 bars and almost into the red,i pulled over and opened the hood ,no leaks of any kind, remembering that i had put the stereo on just before the car almost overheated, so i turned the stereo and the car off and then on again i had normal temp, so im drivin again and it goes up to 3 bars for a second and back down to 1 bar,it has done it a couple of times sine, but any pointers guys/girls on a fix????????:thumbsup:

You didnt pick it up off a guy on ebay did you is it a V8 Berlina?

Number 1 thing that is wrong with these cars is they that many sensors, It could be anything it might only be a faulty cluster temp sensor??.

Is the Fan kicking in at all when the temp goes up maybe thermostat?
