Just fitted an oil temp gauge and was wondering what temp it is supposed to be reading? It hardly rises above 50c

 

norm runin 80-85 on mine at the mo icy winter other week 70-75

 

Mine seems to be runnin rather cool then, not risen above 60 yet!!

 

maybe a faulty gauge, but should never read that low. I dont drive my car above 3k till its at 60

 

Take the sensor out, borrow the kettle and use an extension lead.... drop sensor in kettle and boil !

Check reading is 100 degrees - may need an earth cable from sensor body to the car body !

Replace sensor, buy new kettle !

HTH

dunx

P.S. Normal running temp is 92 degrees for mine, anywhere from 70 mph, to a little bit more

 

What gauge is it? Defi's start at 50 and take a while to get warm depending on the driving.
