Should say I diagnosed mine off the Fiscon readings, the gauge first gets to 90c when it is about 75c

If the gauge is correct you may have a thermostat stuck in the open position. If this is indeed the case you had better change it as your engine mixture depends on proper engine temp.

The gauge IS inaccurate. Best doing the trick with the climate to see what the sensors are reading. 75 degrees on the gauge will be around 60ish degrees in the climate display

Okay, so how do I go about getting this to appear? I'm assuming it is on the climate control displays?
