Re: temp gauge error

Thanks danmetallic,
you are a star the one in there is pretty corroded and so is the plug!!!
Do you know of anyone producing a replacement plug as I may as well do this suspect part at the same time.
Thanks
Stan.

Re: temp gauge error

Thanks Steve,

That would make sense as its the only switch that I have not changed!
I will take a nose at the weekend, Don't suppose you know what make/ colour is the correct one?! As I played the switch game with the oil pressure switch, got plenty of spares in diff colours

Re: temp gauge error

The first stage kicks in at around top of 3/4 on the gauge second stage kicks in at top of gauge
the stat does not even open until gauge is at half to 3/4
I was wondering if there was some sort of bi metallic strip or similar I could adjust on the gauge to give a true reading or somewhere near?
Thanks

Re: temp gauge error

Hi
Thanks for the reply.
No everything else seems fine been struggling with supposed overheating for the last year or so
Everything checked or replaced so eventually bit the bullet and took to garage all working as should be just gauge reading very high when engine /water normal!!

temp gauge error

Hi all
I have a temp gauge that is reading to high, have checked engine temp at normal but gauge is far off to the right.
The second stage fan kicks in at almost the far right hand white marker.
Is there anyway to adjust the gauge ?
Thanks

Re: instrument temp dial in the red

Hi
I a
have a similar problem engine temp is normal but the gauge is reading hot nearly all the way over to the right!
Is there anyway to adjust the gauge/ bi metalic switch?
