I have a 1.5dci auto (EDC) and the coolant temperature gauge only ever reads 2 bars (of the 8) - a quarter way up. My old Qashqai had the same engine and it would always read halfway up. My local Renault dealer has checked it and tells me the coolant temperature is correct but diesels always run cooler (not sure if I believe them). Can anyone with the same engine tell me what their gauge reads please.

It should be straight in the half, after the motor is warmed up.

That's what I thought. Driving it around today it was at 2 bars most of the time, but it did jump to 4 for a while before dropping to 2 again. It never showed 3 on the way up or down, so to me it is faulty.
