Title: Coolant temp gauge not working
Post by: dibs1980 on 30 July 2013, 20:28

As per title
I've just fitted silver dials to my dash and the coolant gauge isn't working I left the car running for 35 minutes and it didn't move and there's no hot air coming through the heaters.
I did what the guide said on here about removing the needles,they came off and went on no problem
Have I knackered the dash or can it be sorted by taking the needle off and putting it back on again???
Cheers
Wayne

No hot air from the heaters suggests air lock or thermostat problem
