Turbo 2000 water temp needle stays at "C" even after long drive
 

From cold the needle rises as far as C, then goes no higher.

Heaters all work as normal, fans come on when they need to etc seems that the gauge is getting a faulty reading, wouldf it be the coolant temp sensor or the actual gauge itself?:Suspiciou

Will be the sensor as that is where the reading for the gauge comes from :thumb:

Cheers banny, just bought one there £30 on the bay for a genuine subaru one:thumb:
now just to get my lambda sensor sorted:(

If you have not already got your lambda, I used to get mine from here good service and product is spot on :)

thats were i was going to buy from just not sure which one to get as was looking one with the plug already on it

what year is the car?

its a MY00 Turbo 2000

Will check the wires on my MY99 sti but pretty sure the wiring setup is different, the ones with plugs on the site are for the imports iirc. May have to buy one and splice your plug on it from the current sensor

cheers, ill pull the old one off tonight too and see what the craic is with the connector plug
