Ok, im not one to worry that much....

Had my 2.0 HDI Partner Combi, and noticed that it ran around 70-75
deg's under normal driving conditions.

Now all of a sudden, i notice that its risen to 80-85 under normal
driving....

Is there anything that could cause this?

I know its within its limits, but it just seems odd..and will bug me
for ages if i dont ask :-)

Thanks

Well I would have thought that 80 degrees would be more the norm, and 70 to
75 too low.
My HDI certainly runs in the 80 - 85 area, up to 90 in traffic.

Well if it was English electrics, it would never have worked in the first
place.

Can a car temp be too low?

Mine certainly sits around 75 to 80, but goes beyond 90 in a jam.

Check your fans are working the symtoms you describe are common in failures
of the electrics for the cooling fans

Mine or his? Mine only goes just past 90, then it never goes any
further, and thats with the heater on 0. This is miles from the red on
the gauge. I don't have a problem do I?

My 406 1.9TD 1998 has only one fan working and has been the case since it
was 2 years old. I have at last been able to fault it and establish it is
one faulty fan so I only have cooling on the high speed position (parallel
working) that comes in at just over 90 degrees. they should both come in at
low speed  (series working) below 90 degrees. It has not really caused me
any problems as the temprature only rises over 90 when waiting for a long
time in heavy traffic on a very hot day. The thermostat on this car opens at
84 degrees.

I believe that the HDI uses a different arrangement using resistors to
provide slow and high speed fans. They are still subject to electrical
failure due to corrosion so worth a check. In my case you can remove the
plug on the control thermostat and then both fans should kick in.
