Bigant Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Afternoon all I need to fit an auxillary temperature gauge to my trialler, it is fitted with a 3.5 V8 engine, can anyone suggest the best way forward. The original gauge is fitted to the vehicle, as the original instrument pod was retained, only it has some kind of fault as after a short time the needle moves into the red and stays there even though the engine is not over heating. Many thanks Bigant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_d Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Have you tried just replacing the sender? The gauge in the instrument pod is controlled by a module built into the instrument pod so if that has failed you best bet is then an Aux. Try car builder solutions http://www.cbsonline.co.uk/gauges-232-c.asp. They do a gauge and if you did not want to mess with the existing they do an adaptor that fits in the top hose to take the sensor.
