Hi all, ive had a search through and couldn't find someone with the same issue.
When driving a short distance (under 10min) say to the shops and back.
When I turn the car back on at the shops it is telling me the temp is 126deg.
Obviously this isn't the case on such a short drive.
Engine is still cool to touch and can open the radiator cap still.
Longer trips with It intermittently jumping to full and back to normal has the motor physically getting up to temp etc but the gauge still playing up.
Would this be a faulty sensor and if so which one would I be best to look at first?
My understanding is the LS1 has more than one sensor it reads off?
