Hello all,
New member from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I have a Phoenix Orange DCT which I purchased last April. Just over 8000kms driven. It gets really cold here this time of year (-40 celcius). Noticed recently the coolant temperature gauge is staying on C even though the engine has been running for half an hour and I'm getting heat through the vents. Anyone experiencing the same thing or know what the issue may be?

The coolant temperature gauge on this car is set up to not move at all until the car is quite warm, I suspect to discourage hard driving before the oil has also come up to temp. Also keep in mind it's a small engine and -40C is freaking cold.

I noticed the other day the gauge moved about a 1/16 Then when I came to idle it dropped back to C
