After driving my car for 4 miles this evening at about 70 mph my temperature gauge went from the normal 90 degree position to 130 and beyond in 5 secs. The overheat warning light and buzzer came on. I took the foot off the accelerator to bring the car to a standstill and the gauge went straight back to the normal position.
Lifting the bonnet there were no signs of overheating and I drive the rest of the journey at 70 mph with no issues.
I don't think the car could have overheated and it would not have been possible for the coolant temperature to rose then fall so quickly. Any idea's as to the cause. Car has done 50000 miles.
It's a 2.0 tdi
