Can you do a few simple tests for me.While idling,how long does the guage take to register overheat?When it hits the red,and you switch the ignition off and then on again,does it register normal?Does it go to red again if you start the engine?Does switching your headlights and aircon on influence the temp guage?Let me know. Regards Marius. (in reply to Disco Mike) Post #: 6
