You need a new temperature sender
HERE
I'm not 100% on the location for a 16xe but a20xe has it near the thermostat on the engine.
hth
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

It's not that one Ste, that's the coolant temperature sensor but the ECU one, not the dash sensor.
The location is right though - its just to the left of the thermostat, behind the CTS - it has a spade connector on it and should be very simple to change.

Ahh yeah, sorry.
It is the one like this:

Get it from Halfrauds or a motor factor.
They are about a fiver.

Make sure it's connected first before you go out buying things though.

Should be on the left of the inlet as you look at it from above, If its got a big induction black thing you will have to remove that to be able to see it.
