Anyone know what the story might be? > i would guess that your mecanic has pulled the temp sensor out when he worked on your ac and then forgot to put it back. On my 96 900 its located in the beam below the coolant and ac condensator. If he forgot to put it back, its now scrambling around in the warm air flowing through your coolant...... Is it showing normal temp before the engine gets warm this should be the reason! /Magnus
