Daveyboy20 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Fitted an amp for my speakers yesterday and just seen that as soon as the ignition is on the temp gauge quickly climbs all the way to the right. It's deffo not overheating - anyone know why it might have happened? It's a mk1 cav with manta clocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pat Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 were you under the bonnet , may have knocked the wire off the temp sender unit , if its earthing it will max out as soon as instruments are live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveyboy20 Posted December 25, 2014 Author Share Posted December 25, 2014 I was indeed under the bonnet fitting the power cable and fuse for the amp. Where abouts is the temp sender? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking that you have a CIH engine, so the sender unit is screwed into the bottom of the thermostat housing, on the front O/S of the engine.

Daveyboy20 Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 Cool - I'll have a butchers. However, I wasn't over there so I'm not confident it'll be that. I must have pulled something off under the dash when pulling wires through etc. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveyboy20 Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 Easy fix, it'd fallen off the sender and was laying in the manifold! Cheers guys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
