Ok, my temperature gauge doesn't register at all. Car runs fine, but I really don't want to run it long without knowing what temperature range I'm running in. So, I need to begin diagnosing this problem but first I'd like to know where in the heck the temp sender is located? I'm guessing it can only be 1) wiring, 2) gauge or 3) sender. So, once I find out where the sender is how do I test it?
Car is a 75 1.8l....again, as usual...thanks in advance! |

QUOTE A stupid question though...if 1.8's have no temp sensor or temp indicator..how would one know if they were overheating their engine Just like school... there are NO stupid questions. Everyone is here to learn. I *guess* Porsche didnt feel the need prior to the 2.0 engine to have a temp gauge. I service a few 2.0 75/76 914's and I dont recall any of them having temp gauges unless they have a center console. B |
