CaptainSensible Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 NIce day today, temp around 7 degrees and sunny, however my temp display says 2C ICY!!! Any one with any ideas????Cheers It means your engine temprature sensor is failing and you need a new engine. Either that or the temperature sensor is located somewhere which doesn't enjoy the warmth of direct sunlight. But you probably need a new engine.

Its only got 15k on the clock, are we talking about the same thing here? I am talking about the digital display pod that indicates the various different set points. IE, clock, mpg, outside temp, stop watch etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattMe Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 It's not very nice to laugh at others' misfortune. I mean, the poor guy needs a new engine and you're laughing. Where's the love My Bose CD player started skipping and I had to had to buy a new gearbox to fix that. Now my gearbox crunches so I'm saving for some wheel spacers. I think it all started when I fitted the stubby... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When your in that situation its better to laugh at it than cry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkie34 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 It might be the fact that it's freezing outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zugara Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 ThAnks for all ur great comments, called Nissan who said that the car should come in straight away for repairs. How was I to know it was a main issue with the zed? Only just got the bloody car. Still got 14 day exchange so might get a car that works right. Once again thankyou for your expert help!

Number86 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Guys. Word of warning. If it's mis-reporting temps. It's not advisable to drive it either. Especially not over 5k degrees. You'll damage the clutch and gearbox as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I'm lost here. Is this thread for real or what? I mean, I can see that the replies on this page clearly aren't, but I don't actually see the original question being serious at all: Surely no-one actually expects that temperature indicator to be 100% correct to the outside temp? I have no idea where the sensor is, but given that on every other vehicle I've been in they will all report different outside temps regardless of what the weatherman says I fail to see what the problem is? It's just a guide, and a pointless one at that. Stick your head out of the window and find out what the temperature is, don't rely on a bloody gauge in a car!
