Guest stevelee79 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Gauge takes ages to register even after a half hour drive it only just moves in the normal range!if stuck in traffic for 10-15 minutes it registers half way. I replaced the sender unit when I first bought the car because it stopped working! So don't know if this is normal? Any help please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinks Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 have you got a thermostat in some people remove them in summer and don't put one back in when winter comes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stevelee79 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Thanks for reply thought it might be just faulty sender unit,So wasn't to worried. Will check thermostat or maybe it's stuck open which has got me worried. If I've been running with a cooled engine for a while! Don't know if this will harm the engine long term? Will get it looked at. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinks Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 just check it when just running see if you can see the water running back to water tank . and just check the rad see if its getting warm . you probly find its just got no thermostat in and with cold weather we having the gauge wont move to much . you said when you sitting there the gauge will go up . and does the fan come on .

Guest stevelee79 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Yeah fan does go on, no problem just takes a while. Didn't realise some people take the thermostat out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
