Right sorry about this fellas!

Temperature gauge spontenously going up and down - Faulty temparature sensor? Well yeah but even when the needle was showing cold the fan was still kicking in??? (does the car have 2 temp sensors - one for the dash and one for the fan?) I recently changed the thermostat because that was faulty but this happening a few days later seems too much of a coincidence!!! Also the needle wasn't showing fully cold just above the white block on the dash then suddnly it would shootup (never went too the fully cold mark)

I assume the temp sensor is the pointing upwards out of the thermostat housing correct or is it the sensor at the bottom?

Thanks

One temp sensor on top of thermostat and one under it (cant remember which one controls the dash clocks tho), fan is controlled with the temp sensor on the side of the raf

Thats what I orginally thought but apperently thats on the rad, seems odd that such an old car has 3 different teperature sensors on it!

They also have an air temp sensor on back of inlet

Lol ok 3 water temp sensors, whats the top one for then guys??!!


Im gunna try cleaning up the contacts on the bottom one tonight as its very on and off which would suggest a dirty contact

Sorry to hijack your post mate but where should the needle sit if everything is working ok?

Once it reaches operating temp it should stay around NO in the NORM

hmmmm. Mine rarely gets above the bottom white line, not sure if that means anything but at least I know. Thanx mate.

ok 1. the sensor in the rad is for the fan (fan switch) 2. the sensor on the bottom of the stat is for the clocks temp guage and the one on the top of the stat goes to the ecu to let it know when the stat is open or closed and prob some other technical poo but thats about it ok guys
