I have a Peugeot 307 HDI and i am having a continuing problem with it. After driving for about 10 minutes from cold my water temp gauge climbs all the way to the top very quickly, the stop light comes on and the display screen tells me that the water coolant temp is too high.
I then stop the car, turn off the ignition, re start the car where everything has returned to normal, drive for a further 3 minutes and it happens again. I repeat the turning off procedure and from there it wont happen again for a couple of days.
I have checked the water level and this is fine. The car does not seem to be excessivly hot and i am stuck for ideas.
Does anyone have any ideas of what may be the problem before i chuck a handful of money at my local dealer for a diagnostic check.....
Thanks
