Picked up car last friday, engine warning light came on with service light, dealer replaced cam shaft sensor. But have also noticed recently when starting from cold sometimes -2 the revs dont go above 1000rpm, and the tempertur gauage stays on the 2nd line.
Today after driving to work, 3 hours later started car again, revs appeared lumpy but then picked....any ideas.

Is that a diesel? I am guessing, could it be the battery on its way out.
