Temp gauge has gone cold

Ruari · Oct 16, 2011

As he title says, my temp. gauge doesn't get up to normal - it used too until recently. I now bairly gets passed cold. I tested the wire / gauge by putting it straight to earth and immediatly it went to hot. I had a new temp sensor, so I fitted that & it didn't even flinch.
Water temp after 8 mile drive is hot but not roasting - I can still touch the pipes.

Any ideas or is it just because i'm driving in sunny Scotland.

Either the stat jammed or has the voltage requlator had a dicky fit

When I first noticed it, I took the thermostat out and clean it, I then gave the engine good flushing. Thermostat is shut, opens in a cup of hot water.

Think I got another voltage regulator to try.
Thanks for input

Just a thought - does anyone now the part number for the stat on the 2.5na 15J? Or have one spare? Maybe handy to have a spare.
