Citroen Xantia 1.9 turbo diesel with aircon. 1996 if it matters
Whilst driving home I had the over heat warning lamp come on and the engine stop light briefly illuminate. As I was only a few yards from home I didn't do anything but when I got home the fans were whirring away even though the rad was almost cool. The engine hadn't overheated and the temperature gauge was reading normal. I put the heater on as I was driving and got plenty of hot air out and the coolant level was fine when I stopped. According to the Haynes BoL the Bitron sensor controls the fans and the overheat light and says that it can only be tested by a Citroen garage. Is this true? I've just done about 4 miles since the incident and the engine got up to normal temp on the gauge without any further symptoms
