Mick, you've said something twice now that's jogged my SOB memory and that is when you're on the move the gauge goes back to the stop or zero. You don't mean reading low, rather it's like to gauge isn't on at all. I have had a similar problem with mine a couple of years ago, and it turned out to be a crook sender i.e. the ceramic centre was very slightly loose and it would just kill the gauge when I was on the move. If I stopped and wriggled the sender wire the gauge would start up again and instantly climb to normal.
What's the chances this could be happening to you? When the gauge refires, does it go straight up to normal or just very slowly go up like warming up from a cold start. Did the problem just turn up recently or has the engine always done this? regards Terry (questions, so many questions) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of mick ralph Sent: Friday, 1 February 2002 5:26 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Radiators/UNDERheating// 3 Terry I gave it a try today with about 1/4 of radiator covered.. no difference that i can see. Its almost like the temp gauge is happy to work around town but as soon as u get on a straight section ie freeway, it immmediately plunges back down to the stop. Wierd huh? I think the thermostat is looking after things internally ok but its sure got me wondering.. Anyway I'm just about to blast off to Warwick so I'll let u know on monday what happened. cheers and thanks for the input from everybody Mick Who was that GOAT??? http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
