    Centre of temperature gauge is normal on most cars - it is easier to se if there is a problem. I suspect your previous car had a problem as staying at the bottom isn't normal, unless you only do very short journeys and the engine never had time to warm up - a common issue with diesels.

    Can any one tell me if Bilingos tend to run a bit warm. In other words is it normal for the temp to register in the middle when running. On my last car my temp use to always remain at the bottom unless I was stuck in traffic for a very long time. I hope you can understand my discriptions. Thanks.

    Your last car must have had a defective thermostat. Around the middle is normal for 99.999% of cars.

    Yes - it would normally sit at 90 degrees temp on my Berlingo.

    It will go higher in standing traffic and the fan will then kick in to cool it back down
