Yolandi Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 After having problems with the stock gauge iv fitted an aftermarket gauge and sender with actual numbers instead of just 2 ranges, so far im getting steady temps of 70C even on long motorway trips , iv only seen it rise to about 80C when climbing a steep country lane, is this normal? I thought diesels run hotter, about 80? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverik Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Hmmm not necessarily, if genuine I'd go more for date of manufacture, I got a genuine New old stock and it didn't open at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
