    a bit of info online

    The problem is caused by "Wiring harness of engine coolant temperature sensor too short/incorrect routed and contamination of plug connection".
    Basically you need to replace the radiator sensor and extend the wiring harness by lengthening the cables.
    There is mention also of a possible software upgrade to the engine ECU.
    If you car is still under warranty this is a warranty repair.
    Tell your dealer to look up Field Remedy 2592

    Bit far from me, I have a code reader we could have used to check it, but you have got the code out by the sounds of it.

    Can you buy code readers for commercial use rather then ones in garages.

    Fault sorted at the moment 2 codes were located by garage and 2 sencors replaced at a cost of £10, diagnostic check was free however I am told that would have cost £35 at a 'quicker' garage
