Temp. gauge

Postby Summer22 on Tue Aug 12, 2003 6:35 pm

Is kinda stuck. At the mo its showing well over the red, i noticed it when i was driving yesterday so i pulled over, waited about 20 mins, checked the water and oil, no where near the min on either. The gauge goes down when i turn the engine off but as soon as its back on it goes straight up again :-?

Now u all know wot i know about cars can fit on a needle so any ideas???

Cable to temp sender could have come off, your gauge could be faulty or the sender could be fubar.

Hot favourite (sorry) is the cable to the temp sender I reckon.
Nothing to see here...
