Engine Temp Senser

Hi all
On my 2.5 diesel saloon the red engine overheating dashboard light is on all the time, even when engine is cold, the temp gauge stays normal in its reading. Is there a temp senser that may be faulty that I could change?

hi there
are you sure it's not the red snowflake symbol for the outside temp sensor?

Section 16 here, on the radiator

and Section 14 here, rear NS of the engine

now i'm not actually sure which one of these actuates the dash warning light, i'll have a look at mine tonite.
have a quick look though, it may be a loose or disconnected multiplug or broken wire

It is the Temp Warning Light - checked handbook. The light is on all the time although when the engine is started there is a fliker of on off. The car is '98 diesel auto with low milage and it has recently lost the acceleration, just slowly pulls away. I wondered if the car is in some 'safe mode' because of the warning light. I have just bought for a few pounds a '98 diesel auto estate which failed the MOT on rusted sills and abs problem but it goes well. I can check any parts by changing them over.
I intend to bring the estate back to life over the summer
