Help Needed!!! by Ziggyzito(op): 11:26am On Jan 25, 2016

Ikenna35 & gazzuz,kindly help me out. I've got a 2005 Peugeot 406 that's got two temperature gauges....the one on the left rises as high as 140 degrees after driving the car for about 2 hours... What's the function of this particular gauge? Coz the one on the right indicates the engine's temperature...photo attached below.

Its the engine oil temperature. Don't understand why it is needed.

when I'm approaching 160km/hr... My steering wheel vibrates. Could wheel balancing be the cause?

Inspect suspension parts. Calm down with this speed of yours, life has got no duplicate

Check the steering arm. I have had same experience twice and both times were the steering arm. I changed both sides at the same time, went for alignment and all is good. But please jeje with that speed abeg.
