#1: Temp gauge Author: lip_88, Location: wolverhamptonPosted: Tue Oct 14, 2014 3:05 pm ---- Trying to find the fault with my temp gauge on my gti it will read for about 10 seconds then drop back to 0 if you restart the engine it does the same so where should I be looking at starting
#2: Re: Temp gauge Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Tue Oct 14, 2014 4:52 pm ---- Which temp gauge?
A GTI has both coolant temp & also oil temp gauges.
#3: Re: Temp gauge Author: lip_88, Location: wolverhamptonPosted: Wed Oct 15, 2014 3:39 am ---- Oil temp gauge
#4: Re: Temp gauge Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Wed Oct 15, 2014 11:11 am ---- Most likely a faulty sensor.
Guessing from the fault description we are talking non plexed 206.
#5: Re: Temp gauge Author: Adam1973, Posted: Wed Oct 15, 2014 1:44 pm ---- Hi, I have a non plexed 206 1.4, my oil temp gauge does the level check when start engine, but then goes back to bottom and stays there... Even after a long run.

Has someone fitted the wrong oil probe?
Choice of 2 for the TU3 engine & only 1 of them does oil temp.
#8: Re: Temp gauge Author: Adam1973, Posted: Thu Oct 16, 2014 11:14 am ---- Not sure as to if wrong oil... The gauge just does not move at all once done the level check. How you mean "Choice of 2 for the TU3 engine & only 1 of them does oil temp."???

There are 2 oil probes listed for the TU3 engine.
One probe only does oil level.
The other probe does oil level & oil temperature.
