for overheating gearox came on!

Bosch engine management does this on lots of makes. The gauge isn't
showing true coolant temperature at all. Stays exactly on 'the mark' over
a wide range of normal coolant temps. Ideal for those who can't understand
the true coolant temperature can vary due to driving conditions.
A BMW I had allowed you to read true engine temp via the OBC display - if
you knew how to do it.

However, that same BMW had an air to fluid transmission cooler. So no
reason the coolant temperature gauge should show the transmission
overheating.
