To recalibrate the temperature gauge on a Vauxhall Corsa, start by ensuring the vehicle is at normal operating temperature. Disconnect the battery for about 15 minutes to reset the electronic systems. Reconnect the battery, then turn the ignition to the "on" position without starting the engine, allowing the gauge to reset. Finally, check the gauge's accuracy by monitoring it during normal driving conditions. If issues persist, consult a professional mechanic for further diagnosis.
Possible causes of gauge not working. Faulty gauge Blown fuse. Open circuit in wiring to the gauge. Temprature transmitter in engine faulty. ( most probably the actual fault ) Lack of coolant in the engine.
In a 2010 Vauxhall Corsa, the water temperature gauge is typically located on the instrument cluster, directly behind the steering wheel. It is usually represented by a thermometer symbol or a similar icon and provides a reading of the engine coolant temperature. If you cannot find it, refer to the owner’s manual for detailed information on the dashboard layout.
you will usually find the temp sensor tucked up behind the front spoiler out of the airflow about the size of a match box, it just clips on and has a two wire terminal clip going to it robb

Because most if not all vauxhall engines are air cooled, hence when you are driving the temp comes down
On a Vauxhall Astra Club 1.6, the temperature gauge is typically located on the instrument cluster, which is behind the steering wheel. It usually appears as a dial or digital display, indicating the engine coolant temperature. If you’re having trouble locating it, consult the vehicle’s owner’s manual for specific details related to your model year.
On a Corsa C, the temperature gauge sender is typically located near the engine's thermostat housing or on the engine block itself. It is often found on the cylinder head or near the coolant outlet. To locate it more easily, consult the vehicle's service manual, as the exact position can vary slightly depending on the engine type.
The temperature gauge in an Alfa Romeo, like in most vehicles, operates by monitoring the engine coolant temperature. It uses a temperature sensor located near the engine or in the coolant passage, which detects the coolant's temperature as it circulates. The sensor sends this information to the gauge on the dashboard, where it displays the temperature level, helping the driver monitor the engine's operating condition. If the engine overheats, the gauge will indicate a high temperature, prompting the driver to take action to prevent damage.
Either the gauge or the sending unit is faulty.
