cant you just trace the wiring back? or look for any after market sensor on the engine if u find one try putting it to earth and see if it moves or do a conternuity test on it?

 

I pick the car up sometime next week, I noticed it wasnt moveing and the the garage is going to check it out, but just wondered if it didnt move because nothing was getting hot and wasnt ment to or if it should allways move slighty would have thought it would move slightly no matter.

 

Just wondering if anyone can tell me what this type of dial should be takeing a tempreture reading off?

 

whats it read in? is it for temperature

 

 

Exhaust temp maybe??

 

agreed looks like a egt gauge

 

If this is an exhaust gas tempreture gauge what sort of reading would u expect it to read after say a 10min trip, because it didnt seem to move much off the 5 maybe 6 mark.

 

Anyone have any ideas on this? Bin told may be a water temp gauge, but didnt move much off the 5 mark which is 50 degrees c after a 10 min trip, would this be the case or would it be expected to move slightly higher?

 

I would guess at oil temp given that it reads to 150deg. egt would go much higher probably as high as 1200deg.

 

What would oil temp be upto after say a 10 min steady test drive, didnt hardly move off the 5 mark (50 degree c)

 

Did you use much boost?

After 10 mins my newage would be about 10-15 degrees C hotter than that.
