My 1Y engine. Follow on jobs need doing
Posted: 29 Aug 2015, 20:19
Hi all, hoping I can get some help with a few snagging jobs after having my 1Y engine fitted if possible please?
My van is an 82 diesel that as far as I have owed it never had an engine. The wiring was a bit knackered and not very tidy to start with. I've had an engine fitted from a 97 Golf and although it is running fine and got us to Wales and back but there are a few things that need sorting before I can use the van to its full extent.
First one is the temperature gauge doesn't work. I have fitted new radiator switches and checked the radiator fan works and been told the water is pumping round fine. I think the 1Y water pump was used in the conversion. When I turn the ignition the gauge needle moves right up whilst the red light flashes quickly. After I start the engine the light stops flashing and the needle slowly moves back down.
Can anybody suggest what to do first please?
Thanks, Jon.
