Title: No reading on MFA for oil temp
Post by: andeb1 on 28 October 2003, 14:32

Help!!
I'm getting no readout on my MFA for the oil temperature. Everything else is fine, it's just for the oil.
Any ideas? - please don't say I need a new trip computer....  :o

Cheers mate .... are they easy to fit?
I'm a bit of a 'biff' in the garage, but I'm willing to give it a go.

Couldn't find an 'oil sender' on the GSF website.
Are they known as something else??     :-\

I think it is one of the sensors on the oil filter bracket?

Mine has been doing the same, except for long hard journeys, when it does read 50-52. I know it only reads over 50, but surely my oil is not that cool is it?

I think your oil temp will be higher than 52, i hope so  ::)

Have you checked that it's not just the wire that's come off?  That's what happened to mine a while back.  Clipped it back on and hey presto.  If you can't find the wire let me know.
