Temperature Gauge
« on: 11 August 2003, 17:15 »

Hello again...

Does any1 know where the cable is situated in the engine bay for the temperature of the engine.. Sometimes my temperature gauge for the engine will work other times it wont or is this the temperature of the water? im not sure.

Its the gauge on your dash in between the rev counter and the speedometer and up a little.

Any advice again would be great!

Thanks!!

Garry

Not too sure where the temperature sender is on your engine without looking in the manual, Normally its situated near the top hose on the cylinder head. The best way to tell if its the gauge or the sender is to, when you've found the right connector. remove it and earth it out to the engine, turn the ignition on and the dial should shoot right up into the maximum zone and stay there, this would denote that the gauge is fine and the sender is knackered which is normally the case.
