#1: Early morning help: temp gauge not working Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Tue Jun 21, 2011 12:01 am ---- Hi guys I bought a gti180 on Friday and noticed the temp needle for the water just sits in it's resting position, I sat revving it on the drive to see if the fan kicks in and it does, car drives ok but it's annoying me that I don't know what the temp is, any ideas as to what it could be? Faulty sensor? Thermostat? Thanks in advance

Lol really? How come

*waits for someone to correct me*

Water temp gauge is at the bottom of rev counter
Oil temp gauge is on the right.
Make sure your looking at the correct tenp gauge as there has been plenty of people on here who mix the gauges up

By the time the warning light comes on the damage is already done

Yeah cheers for the heads up mate but it's def the water temp, the oil on the right side of the cluster works fine
#13: Re: Early morning help: temp gauge not working Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Tue Jun 21, 2011 9:44 am ---- Try a new coolant temp sensor.
#14: Re: Early morning help: temp gauge not working Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Tue Jun 21, 2011 9:46 am ---- If it was the sensor the fan wouldn't kick in though would it?
#15: Re: Early morning help: temp gauge not working Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Tue Jun 21, 2011 9:52 am ---- Depends if it failed on a open or closed circuit
