gelf Posted April 15, 2007 Author Share Posted April 15, 2007 the sender came with the guage. as for the thermostat... ive never looked at it since owning the disco....... perhaps i'd better get a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gelf Posted April 15, 2007 Author Share Posted April 15, 2007 the proper temp guage in the disco dash always runs a tiny bit over quarter..........if thats of any use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Does anyone know what the temperature range of a TD engine is please? Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen337 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 the proper temp guage in the disco dash always runs a tiny bit over quarter..........if thats of any use. Is that right? Mine has always been at just less than half way.... The only time it went over was just before steam came out from under the bonnet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Attryde Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Is that right? Mine has always been at just less than half way....The only time it went over was just before steam came out from under the bonnet! Mine also seems to run just under the half way mark pretty much regardless of how hard I work it and how hot the day is. Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8RRC Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Graham, Both of Andy's Discos run just below half as well so I would say the stat is likely to be the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Brock Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 OT..... Can you get a 82 Deg stat for a 200 Tdi ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonk Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 OT.....Can you get a 82 Deg stat for a 200 Tdi ? the 2.5n/a diesel used a 82 degree thermostat, same dimensions as tdi's IIRC 54mm diameter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 OT.....Can you get a 82 Deg stat for a 200 Tdi ? Yep, LR part 602687 as used in 2.5n/a diesel & 2.5TD it fits because the housing upper part is the same part as a 200Tdi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
