Hi there,

My 200tdi temperature gauge always says that the engine is cool. I have done the normal checks to make sure that the gauge is working and just replaced the heat sensor with a genuine part. I checked the thermostat and water pump and all is ok. but still my temperature gague is saying that the engine isnt warming up.....any ideas?

Thanks for any help.

When you checked the stat what did you do? Might be opening too early and staying open too long, effectively overcooling the engine.

Hi, how did you remove the airlock?

I think I may have the same trouble on my defender 90 - 1993.
