temp stays at 70 2.0HDI van

[alexpert]

Coolant temperature always says 70(as soon as it warms up) Is this indicative of a thermostat problem? Any better ideas? I have just replaced the coolant temp sensor

70 degrees is normal for the HDi coolant temp.

If you work it hard, like going up a big hill, it should go up a bit.

The oil temp will be higher than this.
