Engine coolant temp too high

2010 Peugeot 308 1600 Hatchback
Car: Peugeot 308
Year: 2010
Variant: 1600 Hatchback
Categories: Electrics, ECU, Warnings & Lights
With engine stone cold, within a few seconds of starting, the temperature guage shoots straight up to maximum and the cooling fan kicks in. I've recently had new thermostat housing fitted after it had a crack, and since this fault appeared I have changed the engine coolant temperature sensor, but to no avail.
Anyone any ideas?
