Either faulty CTS or the wiring to it gets my vote.

oh no! i cant be doing with that! iv got my local mechanic stumped aswel. part just arrived so will be fitting in a minute or two. im going to compare readings on both sensors by testing continuity when cold and hot, im still not convinced its the cts though.

When I mentioned this to my dealer last year he said that it was the instrument cluster..

I was sceptical at the time, but if you're still experiencing problems after replacing the thermostat and the CTS, then a new cluster could be worth a look..

Yeah can't be much else really.

i had simular probs with mine after changing the stat and temp sensor, turns out i had a air lock.

 

[ThackersLCR]

Yeah can't be much else really.

Well... Coolant temp sensor replaced and no more problems. Iv havnt had chance to compare the two yet as other issues with the flippin thing.

Cheers guys!

FWIW, I had a computer hooked up to my car last week due to a boost leak and/or failing turbo, and it turns out i have a CTS error..

So yeah, CTS sounds about right
