Help please!

Just started my 2012, 156 rcz and within 10 seconds a message "Engine temperature fault, Stop the vehicle" has appeared. The temp gauge has gone off the scale and the fan is working overtime. I have checked the coolant level, all fine. I live about 8 miles away from my dealer and don't know whether it would be wise to drive the car to them. I'm gutted, only had it less than 2 weeks!
Has anyone else experienced this as I have seen mention of it on the forum?

Sounds like the common engine temp sensor fault. Had it several times myself and drove it until fixed as Pug down here can sometimes be rather busy, wonder why. Get it booked in and it will be sorted under warranty.

Thanks chuzzbutt. Apart from the noisey fan the engine sounds ok and is running smoothly and I can't see it was running long enough for it to be too hot, got to be a sensor surely.

Does your temp gauge go back to normal after a second or so?

No, it's staying right up.

Even if you know the engine is definitely cold?

When my temp sensor went, every time it went back to normal readings so I'd say in your case bud, ring the dealer and see what they say. If they're on the ball then they should know about the sensor fault but I do say "should". As you're under warranty then all will be sorted.

I had the temp sensor problem but it never went into the red, it stayed low instead. Around 70 instead of 90. I never got any warning messages either so it doesn't always follow the same course.
