I seem to have a problem with my 2.1!!! :cry:
The temp gauge went right up after a short drive and the water light was flashing but upon inspection the water level was fine and the engine is not over hot..
Its seems like a sensor problem as i turned on the egntion this morning with the engine cold and the same happened..
Has anybody else had this problem and which sensor do i need to change??
Any help would be pukka :D

mine does the same ive changed the sensor but it didnt make any difference. i have wondered if you can fit one of those temp gauges from jk to solve the problem.

I think the sensor is in the engine bay but not behind the hatch.
It could also be a bad connection.

Try the Multi conector under the dash just to the right of the steering column. Mine had a bad contact and did the same, I also got the buzzer of doom that is earthed so should not of gone off at all.
