Hi guys,

I have a saloon just a quick question on the temp gauge what temp does the average 1.2i sit at? I'm just worried that the saloon is over heating as its lately sitting at just over 1/2 on the gauge & the fan kicks in at the 3/4.
I thought it might be a faulty gauge as my other 1.2 sits at the 1/4 mark.
cheers for any help given.

a 1/4 is average but just check there is enough water in the bottle when its cold.

Water level is spot on & im not losing any water, maybe the head gasket has started to go but its not showing any of the signs as yet, No white smoke or water in the oil, I can borrow a temp prob from work what is the ideal temp for the engine to run at. thanks for your help guys.
